Weird IE cookie behaviour

2001-08-06 Thread Christopher L. Everett

Hello,

I've gotten Apache::AuthCookie to run against Netscape 
and Mozilla browsers.  However, when I try to get it 
to work with IE with prompting enabled for accepting 
cookies, I never get prompted to accept a cookie, so 
it appears that the browser is refusing to acknowlegde 
that the cookie was received.

I've looked high and low for resources on this.  So far
I've rewritten my AuthCookie subclass to use CGI::Cookie,
and added a ton more debug statements, with no effect or
light on the problem.

I _must_ get this working with IE.  Does anyone have a 
clue stick for me?

try posting the Set-Cookie: line that you are sending to the
browsers.

There is IE and there is IE, the versions don't all behave the same
(for just about anything you can think of. :)  Which version(s) of IE
are you using?  Have you tried more than one version?  Have you tried
searching with the Microsoft knowledge base search engine?  It's not
easy for me to admit this, but I've found it rather good.

Check to make sure the domain of your cookie has a leading dot. I seem to
dimly recall that sometimes Netscape would accept a domain without a
leading dot (e.g. ceverett.com) whereas IE would not accept it unless it
had a leading dot (e.g. .ceverett.com).

Humbly,

Andrew
