Re: Re: (Ovid) Re: Re: cookies and redirecting

IIS versions 3, 4, and 5 have a bug that causes them to ignore the cookie header on a redirect. You'll need to use a non-parsed header (NPH) script or find an alternative.

print $query->redirect( -uri    => 'http://www.perlmonks.org/',
                        -cookie => $cookie,
                        -nph    => 1 );

If I recall correctly, the way to get IIS to recognize the script as NPH is to prepend 'nph-' (without the quotes) to the script name. In other words, 'myscript.cgi' becomes 'nph-myscript.cgi'.

I am having a similiar problem with this but I am using apache. I will redirect but not have the cookie be set.

My problem is here CGI and Redirect/URI/Location.
