On a subdomain -- a.test.com -- I'm trying to read the cookies set at .test.com. If I use document.cookie in JS, all i'm getting are the cookies from a.test.com. What is the syntax or route to read the cookies from .test.com?
I'm pretty certain you can read up -- from sub domain to fqdn -- but you can not read down -- fqdn to sub domain.
Thanks!
While setting the cookies at test.com, make sure that you specify the cookie domain as ".test.com".
For example:
your_key_name=your_key_value;domain=.test.com;expires=...
No, it´s the more probable the other way around. That you can read down that is.
Think of web hosts that lets you have a site as a subdomain. It´s make no sense that you should be able to read(/write) their cookies but it make some sense that they can read yours.
