Ok - I got rid of the Apache::Cookie stuff, and am now doing things manually,
but it still doesn't generate a cookie in IE. It still works in Netscape. I
get a redirect, but no cookie. Here is my code:
my $r = Apache->request;
$r->content_type('text/html');
$r->err_headers_out->add('Set-Cookie' => 'userSession=test;
domain=.hainesfamily.org; path=/; expires=Mon, 25-Mar-2002 03:30:43 GMT');
$r->headers_out->add(Location => $redir);
$r->status(REDIRECT);
$r->send_http_header;
my $headers_out = $r->headers_out;
foreach (keys %$headers_out) {
warn "$_=$headers_out->{$_}";
}
return OK;
The warn produces the following:
Set-Cookie=userSession=test; domain=.domain.org; path=/; expires=Mon,
25-Mar-2002 03:30:43 GMT at /path/to/script.pm line 326.
Location=/r/common/loginWelcome at /path/to/script.pm line 326.
Connection=close at /path/to/script.pm line 326.
Transfer-Encoding=chunked at /path/to/script.pm line 326.
Content-Type=text/html at /path/to/script.pm line 326.
Am I doing something wrong???
