I'm trying to unset a cookie from a servlet but I'm having
problems doing it in IE5. This works fine in Netscape 4.6.
Here is the code I use to unset the cookie:
Cookie c=new Cookie("TEST-LAST", "");
c.setDomain(".mydomain.com");
c.setMaxAge(0);
c.setPath("/");
The warning I get from the Cookie class is:
"WARNING: received an illegal cookie name: TEST-LAST; TEST-NUMITEMS"
(There are two other valid cookies, one of which is named "TEST-NUMITEMS".)
When I view the cookie on the hard drive, it shows that the "TEST-LAST"
cookie has been set with a value of "", but it hasn't been deleted.
When I clear the Temporary Internet Files, it removes the TEST-LAST
cookie and things work fine.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening on IE? Do I have
to do something special to expire the cookie?
Thanks,
-Mike
