Some application, not written by me, and not in PHP, creates a cookie for the domain "www.domain.com". I am trying to replace that cookie. So in php I did: setcookie('mycookie','mydata',time() + 2*7*24*60*60,'/','www.domain.com', false); However the resulting cookie is created for domain: ".www.domain.com", note the dot "." ahead of ...

How do I send the "Set-Cookie" header when working with a BaseHTTPServerRequestHandler, and Cookie? BaseCookie and children don't provide a method to output the value to be passed into send_header(), and *Cookie.output() does not provide a HTTP line delimiter. Which Cookie class should I be using? Two have survived into Python3, what ar...
I'm wondering if using the following Javascript code is reliable: if (!document.cookie) { alert('Cookies are disabled.'); } I've tested this in IE, Firefox and Chrome and it seems that when you disabled cookies, the document.cookie object becomes unavailable. Does anyone have any experience with this method working/not working? M...
Can I call the server to set a new cookie with an AJAX request (that is, after the page has already loaded)? For example, when a visitor hits a link, ajax would open a php file that sets a new cookie like this: setcookie('cookiename', 'true', time()+3000, "/",'...'); But this is done after the html (the page containing the actual <a>...
I have a site that uses www.example.com for standard pages and secure.example.com for HTTPS. I am trying to set a cookie when user logs in that will be valid on both the HTTP & HTTPS versions of the site. I am doing this by setting path to "/" and domain to ".example.com".

I want to redirect to a splash page for first time visitors to the site using cookies to remember that they came. This is easy, however, for people with cookies disabled, I never want to redirect them to the splash page. The problem I'm running into is that when I set the cookie, PHP won't see it until I reload the page. This means fi...

I have 2 subdomains and I need to set and read the same cookie from both websites. When I use localhost, everything works fine. When I switch to using valid urls, the cookie infomation is not really being updated when I update it (expire date on logout). I have the domain of the cookie set to ".mysite.com" what is wrong? ...
In light of the cookie-handling bugs affecting Safari and Chrome (see this thread), and Pylons implementation of redirect_to as an exception, is it possible to reliably set a tracking cookie and redirect at the same time? Is the META refresh method looked down upon? ...
I am migrating our hosting environment to a totally new data center with new boxes and hardware and software... the whole deal. Our website cookies are encrypted using the machineKey, so when I make a request to my domain and point it to the new web server (by overriding the local hosts file), I get an error because the cookie cannot be...
I wish to "retrieve" the cookies sent by the client in my subclass of BaseHTTPRequestHandler. Firstly I'm unsure of the exact sequence of sending of headers, in a typical HTTP request and response this is my understanding of the sequence of events: Client sends request (method, path, HTTP version, host, and ALL headers). The server re...
[Disclaimer: I know, if you know anything about crypto you're probably about to tell me why I'm doing it wrong - I've done enough Googling to know this seems to be the typical response.] Suppose the following: you have a central authority that wants to issue login cookies for a given domain. On this domain, you don't necessarily trust ...
Hello, I have a login script for a small application that works by storing session cookies and checking them on each page to make sure the user is logged in.
