Hi,
Looks like Phillip is looking for a way to send cookies from an
HTTP client to a server. It has nothing to do with servlets. The
solution suggested by Jan might be relevant if the client had the
servlet API's with him for his client, but I'm not sure this is
recommanded (the Cookie class is part of the Servlet 2.x spec,
not a standard Java class).
I suspect that just MAYBE, the ":" (colon) in the cookie's value might be
confusing the cookie reader in the server side. Try:
1. Sniffing the net to see that the cookie indeed gets sent.
2. Encode the cookie's value using base64.
3. Send the cookie with nothing appended to it (as in example 2), this
should be the right way.
4. Look in RFC 2109 (on www.ietf.org) and maybe other docs through
www.w3c.org
Hope this helps,
--Amos Shapira
