I'm using CFCOOKIE to set a non-expiring cookie on my users' machines. My
code in my application.cfm file is as follows:
<cfif Not IsDefined("COOKIE.tid")>
<cfset TEMP_ID = CreateUUID()>
<CFCOOKIE NAME="tid" VALUE="#TEMP_ID#" EXPIRES="never">
</cfif>
On a subsequent pages (not the first page where the cookie is set) I'm doing
the following:
<cfif IsDefined("COOKIE.tid")>
<cfset variables.uid = COOKIE.tid>
<cfelse>
<cfset variables.uid = CGI.REMOTE_ADDR>
</cfif>
so that if they have cookies disabled that I can use their IP instead.
However (and here's the problem), even on a browser with cookies disabled
that's never been to this site (and I've checked the cookies on the machine
to make sure) I'm still getting a page-based cookie set (i.e. one that
changes with every reload of the page).
How can I check if the cookie is defined or not if every time CF thinks it
is? I thought that if users had cookies disabled cfcookie simply wouldn't
do anything. Why is it setting this temporary value? I am specifying an
EXPIRES attribute, so I know it's not that...
Thanks for any insight.
