Re: [slightly OT] Problem with cookies

[___cliff rayman___]

I tested this from my end also.

I see the cookies being properly set when I do:
lwp-request -e 'http://cloudstock.com'

I get a cookie warning from Netscape
when i get them via 'http://www.cloudstock.com'.

no cookie warning from netscape and no cookies in cookie.txt
when i access via 'http://cloudstock.com'.

I did not read the RFC so I cannot comment on it,
but I bet the guys at Netscape have not read that
RFC either.  I think Netscape is not accepting the
cookie because of the beginning period in .cloudstock.com.
This is either purposeful or accidental.  Perhaps you can
redirect to www.cloudstock.com in order to make sure the
cookie is properly set.
