Re: Cookie and Browser
You cannot read a cookie set in FireFox with Internet Explorer and vice versa. Cookies are browser specific.

RE: Cookie and Browser
IE and Firefox use different directories to store cookies, so they can't see each others. -Original Message- From: Don L [mailto:do...@yahoo.com] Sent: 03 September 2009 14:07 To: cf-talk Subject: Cookie and Browser I'm wondering for coldfusion8 if a cf cookie set for IE7 would be available for Firefox 3.5 or vice verse.

RE: Cookie and Browser
Just to make your head spin-- there is one annoying little caveat to this. Cookies sent to a Flash request in IE will be sent by Flash in FF because the Flash VM shares the same memory space for cookies between browsers. This doesn't bode very well if you need to have a Flash object make a request to a page secured by a login using cookies for authentication in any browser other than IE. http://swfupload.org/forum/generaldiscussion/383 ~Brad Original Message Subject: Re: Cookie and Browser From: Don L do...@yahoo.com Date: Thu, September 03, 2009 8:56 am To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com You cannot read a cookie set in FireFox with Internet Explorer and vice versa.
