um...you do understand that client and session variables rely on cookies,
right?  specifically, CFID and CFTOKEN.

        Well I am gonna say this before everyone else does. DON'T USE
COOKIES. They are unreliable and they don't have a good rep. Either use
session variables or client variables.

I have a question about Cookies and SSL on Netscape.

I have almost finished my shopping cart, but when my users were testing,
there was a problem. It seems that Netscape won't allow pages on the SSL
part of the server to use the Cookies generated by the non-SSL section of
the server. Everything works OK in IE.

Directory structure

webroot
     racbp(beginning of shopping cart)
          1.cfm 
          2.cfm
          3.cfm
          ...
          application.cfm(writes two cookies Customer_ID and Order_ID)

     secure
          racbp(secure section of shoppingcart)
              4.cfm
              5.cfm
              6.cfm

1. I thouhgt that I could just move the application.cfm to the webroot
directory, but then what do i do when I need to write another application
that would have the same problem....

2. I could put the entire shopping cart app in the SSL folder

3. I could pass the Cookies as variables from page 3.cfm to page 4.cfm anf
have page 4 write cookies from the SSl server. Then I will have to identical
sets of cookie and I will have to delete them twice.

4. Every CF developer must have the same problem and there must be an
industry standard fix... but I don't know what it is which is why I am
contacting you.


Any help would be much appreciated,
Bonnie
