Re: Re: Stupid CGI.PM cookies!

[Seumas]

Actually, IE doesn't seem to be giving my any problem. IE (6 at least) and Mozilla are content with my cookies as long as they have the -domain set.

I thought this must be a very well known problem since thousands of others out there have to manage cookies for multiple browsers with CGI.pm, but googling for any evidence of that turns up nothing.

I had considered trying to setup something with Apache::Sessions or some other solution, but since I already use CGI.pm elsewhere in the script and the cookie handling that I've devised is very simple (I set a double-MD5-hashed string in the cookie, read the cookie in, compare it to a database with the uid/session_id and that's it). There shouldn't be a lot to go wrong here!

Netscape 4.7 and WebTV seem to have a problem with -domain for certain. Others may as well, but my browser testbed is only so diverse. Since all the browsers should accept -domain it seems a problem with Netscape and WebTV rather than with IE (although I agree on the frustration of the P3P Cookies bit).
