Hey everyone! Look at Bas, planting the seed for the Year 2033 bug!
Haha! yeah, you have a valid point. But I didn't do it, some dude at
Netscape in 1995 did! AOL bought Netscape, you work for AOL, so it is
all your fault, really! :P
There are two RFCs concerning cookies that address the problem of
needing hard expiry times (as set by the Netscape spec) but from what
I read, they may not be well supported by all clients. For now, the
netscape spec works reliable as long as you don't do stupid things
like setting the expire one hour into the future; if the user's
computer clock is off your application might well not work at all.
Either go for a session cookie, or set it to expire many years into
the future.
Cheers,
Bas.
