in reply to Cookies, Redirect & IIS

And you are sure the redirect to script is in the same realm as the cookie you had just set? One other problem I have seen is when the servers IP address and its view of hostname mismatch so IIS/browser seems to think you are trying to set a cookie for a realm the server does not exist in.

    I have set the page I am redirecting to as both relative, /cgi-bin/..., and FQDN http://.../cgi-bin/...
    the two scripts exist in the same directory on the server.

      have you verified with some sort of http head viewer that the actual header does _not_ contain the cookie? instead of relying on a 3rd party (the next cgi script)

        The code runs on Apache, the next script doesn't pick up the cookie (and I wrote the next script so I know how it works), two different browsers with prompt for cookie acceptance turned on don't prompt. Does that count as enough third party testing?
