Dave, While I cannot solve your problems, I can tell you that the cookie "technology" being employed by the Management site is exactly the same as the technology employed at the reseller's site.
The only slight difference might be: If you go to http://manage.opensrs.net you are redirected to https://manage.opensrs.net (there's an SSL Cert there) If you go to http://resellers.opensrs.net/ you're redirected to https://rr-n1-tor.opensrs.net/resellers/ I don't know if that will mean anything (I'm no cookie expert, I just like how they taste) Charles Daminato TUCOWS Product Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 16 Nov 2001, Dave Delbridge wrote: > Hi all, > > Erol of OpenSRS Support recommended that I drop this question to the > list.
