Many thanks Hari. Turns I was having an "acme.com" vs. "www.acme.com" cookie descrepancy, and I didn't notice the obvious until you reminded me.
I am glad it wasn't a mod_perl or apache oddity! Curious: does scheme matter? That is, can a cookie set by http://acme.com be read by https://acme.com, and can a cookie set by https://acme.com be read by http://acme.com? --- Hari Bhaskaran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ideally, the cookie set by a request (be it an image > or html) > originally sent to Site A should always be returned > to any future > request to Site A.
