I fixed the problem I had with Netscape not working well with sessions
(whereas MSIE worked fine for me). Apparently, Netscape works well with
cookies (and ironically, MSIE doesn't). Of course, many would probably
disagree, but I'm ONLY speaking from MY recent experience and specifically
on the Mac platform. So, anyway, my solution was to set both sessions and
cookies at the same time, wherever needed, and do my authentication (etc) by
seeing if either one or the other is set (e.g., if $session = logged or
$cookie = bitten then...).
Hope this helps someone.
Best,
