Are you setting the cookie using URLEncodedFormat()? I just did a test
using CFCOOKIE like so:
<CFCOOKIE NAME="thing" VALUE="http://www.thingdomain.com/something.cfm">
I then read the cookie back out like so:
<CFOUTPUT>#cookie.thing#</CFOUTPUT>
The result I got was:
http://www.thingdomain.com/something.cfm
No URL encoding what-so-ever. It could be that CF automagically
URLEncode/Decodes cookies. It looks like a pure CF solution works great, I
can't speak for combining it with other App servers. Maybe you could/should
pass it tot he other server in the URL instead?
