Hi All Gurus ,
I am creating cookie objects by parsing the response header of the
web browser . After that I am attaching all the cookies that I have
received with response header ie. response.addCookie(CookieObj) .
Now this thing I have tested with Netscape ("Warn me before accepting a
Cookie" just to check
whether any cookie is coming or not) , but these cookies are not passed to
the Netscape Browser .
Can anybody please tell me where I am wrong or am I missing something ?
Thanks and Regards ,
