Andrew, Ya need to remember to CC the group as well.
Copied from an oldish Netscape spec: -------------------------------------------------------------- domain=DOMAIN_NAME When searching the cookie list for valid cookies, a comparison of the domain attributes of the cookie is made with the Internet domain name of the host from which the URL will be fetched. If there is a tail match, then the cookie will go through path matching to see if it should be sent. "Tail matching" means that domain attribute is matched against the tail of the fully qualified domain name of the host. A domain attribute of "acme.com" would match host names "anvil.acme.com" as well as "shipping.crate.acme.com". Only hosts within the specified domain can set a cookie for a domain and domains must have at least two (2) or three (3) periods in them to prevent domains of the form: ".com", ".edu", and "va.us". Any domain that fails within one of the seven special top level domains listed below only require two periods. Any other domain requires at least three. The seven special top level domains are: "COM", "EDU", "NET", "ORG", "GOV", "MIL", and "INT". The default value of domain is the host name of the server which generated the cookie response. path=PATH The path attribute is used to specify the subset of URLs in a domain for which the cookie is valid. If a cookie has already passed domain matching, then the pathname component of the URL is compared with the path attribute, and if there is a match, the cookie is considered valid and is sent along with the URL request. The path "/foo" would match "/foobar" and "/foo/bar.html". The path "/" is the most general path. If the path is not specified, it as assumed to be the same path as the document being described by the header which contains the cookie. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Fritz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 7:07 PM > To: Tom Murphy > Subject: Re: mod_perl not sending cookies > > > Bingo!
