my goal is to gather info about the user that is logged in. NOT their password, just a USERID or USERNAME stored as a cookie [im pretty sure] or perhaps a session varible.
i've check my cookie file regarding this particular web site and found my USERID in the file. maybe there is a way to read the file off someone's computer and parse it accordingly. i guess you'd need a client side program, not server side. maybe a java applet would work??? just throwing some ideas around. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Rother" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 4:40 PM Subject: Re: 3rd Party Cookie Reading [try to explain again] > Well, I agree with everyone else.
