If you are testing your application, you should be aware that IE does NOT evaluate cookie age during sessions. Meaning that if you set a relatively short age, to test your app. you should restart IE in order to get rid of cookies expired during session.
Hope this gives you a hint...

Hi: I encounter a problem with using cookie for IE: Try to set the max age for a cookie in a servlet.but when using IE to revoke the servlet,the cookie does not expire as I expected ( after a period of time, which had been set in the max age for the cookie),it seems that IE manages cookie in a strange way: get the cookie creation date (server date, not client date) and plus the max age, this is the expiring age for the cookie managed by IE. However, Netscape does not manage the cookie like that, it seems that Netcapse get the arrival date ( to the client, broswer) of the cookie and plus the maxAge to caculate the expiring age for a cookie. In another word, I can not find a way to manage the cookie's age on the server side for I.E. Any comment on this problem is highly appreciated.
