I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do, but you can't pass cookies from one server to another, unless the first server is actually making an HTTP request. Cookies are passed by the client to the server, within the HTTP request header. If both servers are within the same domain, you can set a cookie from one server that the client will pass to both servers. Use the DOMAIN attribute of CFCOOKIE to do this. Third-party cookies are often rejected, but if you're in an environment where you know they'll work, you could have a page on your first server include an image or some other asset from the second server, and have that HTTP response from the other server set a cookie that would then be sent to the other server.
