Hi

Up until tuesday this week this code in script was posting cookies to firefox. 

sub SetUserSessionCookie
{    
        my $printresult = "";
        my ($sname,$sid) = @_;
    #use CGI qw/:standard/;
    #use CGI::Cookie;
    warn("In set cookie: '$sname'   '$sid'");
    my $sessioncookie = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>$sname,-value=>$sid,-ex
+pires=>$session_cookie_timeout,-path=>'/',-domain=>$domain,-secure=>1
+);
    warn("session cookie: '$sessioncookie'");
    $printresult = print header(-Cookie=>[$sessioncookie],-type=>"text
+/html");
    warn("printresult: '$printresult'");
}

I had been testing program and the cookie was posted at least 100 time

On Tuesday afternoon it quit posting cookies in FF

It still posts cookies in Chrome and Blue Moon but will not work in Firefox

I checked all settings in FF, deletec all cookies and cache several times, shut down and restarted FF and computer and finally reinstalled the latest version and did a search on internet thinking a FF upgrade is the culprit. No such luck.

The warns show correct information. And: printresult: '1' at /home/jalamior/www/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/lib/perl/manageusers.pm line 687.

Of course I assume 1 = true = success.

Thanks and best regards
