Aha. I found a chink. I still only have one brick in the wall,
but now it seems like i may have a clue as to why the other
bricks have been sitting there, giggling.
to wit:
Cookies are restricted to certain domains, for security reasons.
(Why have a microsoft.com cookie sent to debian.org, right?)
So all cookies need
domain=box.subnet.intralan.organization.tld
Or at the very least, two segments thereof:
domain=.org.tld
Which would be sent to any of these hosts:
www.org.tld
some.obscure.server.org.tld
even.here.org.tld
BUT NOT TO
ord.tlg
Thank you very four-borking-days-lost-forever much.
So, patient gurus laughing-up-your-sleeves, who've known this
from the beginning and have only been waiting for grashopper to
come to the epiphany on his own, would you mind sharing with us
lesser folk... HOW to have cookies work for bare-domain hosts
such as
this.org
something.net
my.tld
to operate as aliases for more specific-style sites such as
www.this.org
www.something.net
a.very.deep.and.remote.server.my.tld
? Please?
at least i'm off the russian roulette kick. for now.
