I must be missing some basic thing about cookies. On localhost, when I set a cookie on server side and specify the domain explicitly as localhost (or .localhost). the cookie does not seem to be accepted by some browsers. Firefox 3.5: I checked the HTTP request in Firebug. What I see is: Set-Cookie: name=value; domain=localhost;...
I've been reading some posts about web performance, one of the points is to serve static content from a cookie-free domain, my question is: Can I share cookies between, let's say example.com and www.example.com, while excluding static1.example.com, static2.example.com, etc? Or do I need to set a different top level domain? I know (or ...
I'm creating a client to visit a website and log in + do some tasks automatically, however they recently updated their cookies to (for whatever reason...) contain a comma inside their identification cookie. So for example, the Cookie will have a value similar to this: a,bcdefghijklmnop The problem is, according to msdn you can't use...
Hi, I set cookies based on the referral links and they all start with the same letters, lets say "google", but they end with _xxx, _yyy, _zzz or whatever is the reference. Now, when I try to get the cookies later, I have the problem that I don't want to check for all of the different cookies, I would like to check for all cookies that s...

Hey guys. I'm having a strange issue with cookie visibility between an authentication servlet and our actual jsp. We're using a servlet to authenticate that the user is a valid user, and if they are, we go ahead and add a cookie to the HttpServletResponse with their referer url (this is so that integrations can be redirected to their ow...
Hi, I am trying to use a cookie that is set by other page in my domain to authenticate the user. Say I have needpassword.example.com written using cakephp, and the cookie is generated by auth.example.com (using a Perl CGI program). To login in to needpassword.example.com, I need to redirect to auth.example.com to set the cookie, and th...
Does anyone know whether I can set a session value for the current domain, and use this session for another domain? For example: when I set session in domain www.aabc.com and I wish this session to work in domain www.ccc.com as well -- I click a button in www.aabc.com and change the header to www.ccc.com? ...

I have a page where I grab a value from the query string and add it into a cookie. The value is used for a couple of different items on the page. If the user returns to the page and the value isn't in the query string, the value is pulled back from the cookie. I have tried doing my own cookie setting and retrieval in JavaScript as well...

But if you use safari, you can enter only once; you can't surf inside the site. I found that Safari doesn't set the entered cookie, but FF/IE does. What is wrong here? ...
I've got a situation where I have two different webapps running on a single server, using different ports. They're both running Java's Jetty servlet container, so they both use a cookie parameter named JSESSIONID to track the session id. These two webapps are fighting over the session id. Open a Firefox tab, and go to WebApp1 WebApp1's...
anytime a user logs into our Wiki they get the following error: "This Wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again." Even though the error displays, the user is actually logged in and can make edits as normal. If the user doesn't look closely they can't tell they are logged in and it's ca...

Hi, I am using jQuery resizable from interface.eyecon.ro/docs/resizable for a menu on a page that I am working on. I need to set a cookie ( plugins.jquery.com/project/Cookie ) to store the height of the menu div so that the div doesn't resize to it's original css height on every page reload.

On my non membership site I would might like to keep track of what songs a user last listened to via Cookies The maximum number of values in this cookie would be maybe 100 values. The IDs of the songs: (30,31,32,32,34....... and on and on.) Is there any reason not to do this? Users are not authenticated in anyway. And this is non ess...
I've got a PHP script running on domain B that, when called generates some JS. The idea is that in a given html page I can have: <script src="http://b.domain/myscript.php"></script> So when the page loads, the script is called and the JS is generated and run on the local page. The problem is that myscript.php depends on B's...
