Re^3: Removing dot before cookie host/domain URL

Again, I think you are mistaken.

$ cat > a.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;
$query = new CGI;

$cookie1 = $query->cookie(
-domain=>'foobar.com',
-name=>'TheCookie',
-value=>'anything ',
-expires=>'+24h',
-path=>'/',
-secure=> 0);

print $query->header(-cookie=>$cookie1);

print"<html>
<body>
Done.
</body>
</html>";

print $query->end_html;

$ perl a.pl
Set-Cookie: TheCookie=anything%20; domain=foobar.com; path=/; expires=

Hi, I have CGI v3.55 installed. I fired up IE and checked the code/cookie there. It seems that the problem with the dot does not occur with IE but with Mozilla based browsers. However, I still can't get a cookie without a dot before the URL in a Mozilla browser.	[reply]

There is no problem. You're very confused. `perl -MCGI -le "print CGI->new->cookie( qw[ -domain example.com -name +key -value val -path / ] )" key=val; domain=example.com; path=/` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You're very confused. Yes I am. I'm giving up and going to try and find another way to overwrite the cookie.	[reply]
