I always use '/', so the browser always sends it back. Domain & Path are the two critical factors in cookies. Could you post the result HTTP headers for perusal? === Subject: Re: Apache, Mod_Perl and Custom Access/Authentication From: Drew Taylor <dtaylor@vialogix.com> Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2000 09:46:43 -0400 Vegard Vesterheim wrote: > > When dealing with cookie problems, it can be helpful to use a 'HTTP > protocol sniffer'.

Wsnitch looks very cool. I'm going to give it a try right now. I like the fact that I can still use the browser AND see the raw headers. :-) BTW, google took me right to wsnitch's homepage using the "I feel lucky" option. Google rocks! ===
