Determining if a cookie was accepted

[nop]

Hi folks,
If a mod_perl script attempts to set a cookie, how can you determine at that time if the cookie was successfully accepted?
Thanks

Cookies are sent in the http headers and if I'm not mistaken there's no way to determine if the client accepted or rejected them. The only thing I can think of is to check for the cookie next time the user requests a page (but that's probably not what you want since you write "at that time").

hm, I suppose after sending the header you could print a small javascript function that would send another request (lots of options there) to a script which, after checking what cookies it gets, would set a flag (with your favourite shared memory / IPC mechanism) for which your first script would have to wait.

Though that doesn't sound like that good a solution to me... in fact, I don't even know if that would work, Monks?
