Agreed, but that's slightly different that what I'm doing. That scenario would be analogous for using an IP in the Host header. > if you add a view results tree listener and check the Set-Cookie you > receive > does it have a domain? > It does. It's the exact same as the Host I'm requesting domain=.beta.mysite.com That would make sense, since it's Apache setting the cookie and it knows which vhost I requested. More importantly, it's the exact same cookie domain and path if I use the server IP or name. It appears the cookie manager won't *send* it if I'm using the IP. Perhaps it's using the server name as the key and not the Host header? > Also if you dont add a host header and just request using IP address what > happens? > Won't work because I have the site configured as a virtual host. It must get that Host header to know which host/docroot I want.
