First off, if there is a true, official way of having flash/flex's NetConnections usurp the session/cookie state of the surrounding web page, so that if the user has already logged in, they don't need to provide credentials again just to set up an AMF connection, please stop me now and post the official answer. Barring that, I'm assumin...
My app authenticates just fine. The problem comes when a different user logs in to the same browser. The first page the new user lands everything is ok (the $_REQUEST parameters are still present in the iframes url). Once however they click on a link it reverts back to the cookie and it appears as though they are logged in as the previo...
The task is relatively straightforward: A Drupal website displays a list of articles with thumbnails. Some visitors would like to view it without images by clicking on a button/link and have that preference saved. e.g. http://patterntap.com/collections/index/ The problem is all visitors are anonymous and given certain traffic, page ...
I do a lot of php and javascript, but I think this is relatively language-agnostic question. Are there any best-practices for when to use each of: URL variables SESSION variables cookies I understand the inherent limitations of what some of them can't do, but it seems like their use can overlap sometimes, too, and those instances ar...
I am trying to use InternetGetCookie in order to retrieve cookies from IE. The problem I have is that sometimes in a cookie file there may be 2 or even 3 different cookies but InternetGetCookie always retrieves the data associated with only the first cookie. I tried calling InternetGetCookie twice in a row for the same cookie url but it...

How can you generate a new cookie value, with each new request (e.g. the cookie value changes when you click on a hyperlink). An example would be something that PEAR AUTH does: "Each client request a special unique cookie is given to the client. He must present this cookie on his next request. This cookie changes on every request. If c...

I'd like input on this cookie password storing security system, When the user ticks the remember me box, it stores these cookies: User name in plain text. Password encrypted with a completely random key that the server stores in the database, that is never passed to the client and is user-specific, changes with every login. And the se...

There are two domains: a.example.com example.com example.com is the parent domain of a.example.com. Now both a.example.com and example.com may write a cookie named test_cookie.

I successfully set a cookie in JavaScript: var date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime()+(1*24*60*60*1000)); //one day expiration date var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString(); window.name = date.getTime(); document.cookie = "window_name="+window.name+expires+"; path=/"; Then in rails I try to read (I've tried both of the fo...
I've been trying to get to the bottom of this -- and was wondering if anyone can verify. Does IE6 still only support 20 domain cookies at this time? I've found some MS articles online that indicate the domain cookie limit was increased in 2007 to 50 -- but, it's unclear if the article is discussing IE7. ...
Hi, In order to store some Google Analytics data, I would like to access to GA "__utmz" domain's cookie (domain=.example.com) from my www subdomain (domain=www.example.com). Is it possible to read this domain's cookie from a subdomain ? If yes, how can I do that with Rails ? cookies[:__utmz] doesn't seem to work with all browsers. I k...
I generate the jQuery cookie using this code: $.cookie('queueView', 'value', { path: '/' }); assuming that the path is set to the root, hence "/". When i go to a different page, and on a different folder level, the cookie is suddenly gone only to find out that it became unique to a particular web page in my site. What i would like to...

I have the following code (Yes I know it's quite long winded, but I want to keep it as much the same as possible) Hopefully it will make sense, but essentially what I want to do is when a user clicks one of the toggles it will create the relevant cookie and set its value to "Open" and then when they click it again it remove the cookie. ...
