I want to reduce load times on my websites by moving all cookies into local storage since they seem to have the same functionality. Is there any pros/cons (especially performance-wise) in using local storage to replace cookie functionality except for the obvious compatibility issues? ...

In an effort to increase performance, I was thinking of trying to eliminate a plain 'session cookie', but encrypt all the information in the cookie itself. A very simple example: userid= 12345 time=now() signature = hmac('SHA1',userid + ":" + time, secret); cookie = userid + ':' + time + ':' + signature; The time would be used for a...
As you can see, I'm using cookies to pop up modal confirmation boxes and alerts. While these have worked for a long time until very recently, I must have added something to this chunk of code and it all went haywire. The "close" function on the modal is supposed to clear the cookies so the pop up won't pop up anymore, now it is not clear...

Hi, We've recently upgraded our production systems from Java 1.5, Apache HTTPD 1.3 and Tomcat (sorry, not sure which version) to Java 1.6, Apache HTTPD 2.2 and the latest version of Tomcat (again, sorry, not sure of the numbers). Since this upgrade, we've noticed that a (very) small percentage of traffic to our site from IE7 and IE8 dr...

I'm using php for my site and was wondeirng if it would be a good idea to use the $_SERVER md5($_SERVER['remote_addr'] + $_SERVER['http_user_agent'])) into a cookie_auth field in the user table. When the user logs in, php will use the above key to re-check the current user and compare it to the stored key and if matched get credintial...

I have a cookie that is being set by Microsoft ISA. I want to check that the cookie exists from ColdFusion, but the cookie isn't listed in the cookie scope. The page I'm trying to read the cookie value from is using HTTPS. Why can't I read the cookie? All the non-secure cookies are listed in the cookie scope. ...
-edit- nevermind. I ran the code again and it appears i cant log into that first site anymore. It must have been a weird cache issue or something. Maybe i overlooked something. WebClient seems to ignore cookies so logging onto a site shouldnt work. I figured out how to login to websites using WebClient. On the first website i tried i co...
Now here is my situation: I'm making a CMS. When links are clicked, i would like the pages to load dynamically using Ajax. The problem in the links! The only way to change the address in the address bar real-time is to use anchor tags. But PHP doesn't get the anchor tags, thus I can't load page content on site load using PHP. And if i w...

I browsed to CNN and was horrified to see my Facebook picture there with a "post a comment" box. How did CNN get my Facebook login information? More specifically, how did CNN know I was logged into Facebook? It seems like CNN would have to have access to a cookie set by Facebook to do that. This is the only sequence I can think of. I...
