in reply to CGI:SSI cookies

I'd be surprised if that ever worked for two reasons:
  1. SSI is never supposed to go "off box". You can include files using the server-side path, or URLs from the current server only.
  2. Even for URLs, the original environment is unlikely to be passed to the SSI, because the SSI is simply providing additional text to be included dynamically.
I suggest you restructure your design. Incorporate the functionality of what would have been included directly into your CGI application instead.

    You are right, I am just going to have to write another sub to handle it, inman exec cgi maybe ok however I also need to pass some URL parameters which cannot be done with this SSI command as the script gets the same Query_String as the main script :-(.. Thanks for you help guys and keep up the good work.

      Just to the side... you may want to know that SSI is able to read cookies.. I have found out that it is a problem with IE.. just not sure what problem yet. I have tested the scripts on other computers running the same version of IE and they have worked with no problems. So I just need to work out what is going on with my install of IE.
