Setting Cookies

[Mikeinutah]

Hi,

I have a program that uses cookies and it turns out that AOL users cannot set my cookie. I know that cookies can be set a number of ways and was wondering if I'm setting them in a way that is not compatable with AOL. Do any of you have an answer or suggestions that can help me?

Mine are being set like this:

use CGI qwstandard);



$user_id = "somename";
$value = qq($user_id,someinfo,somemoreinfo);
$User_cart = cookie(-name => 'User',
-domain => '

http://www.name.com',

-value => $value,
-expires => '+7d',
-path => '/');

print header(-cookie => $User_cart);

Thanks,

Mike

Try omitting the domain value and see if that resolves the problem. Its a long shot but it might be what it takes. AOL may be doing some funky proxy stuff that is making things go wacky.

siberian,

Sorry for not getting back sooner.

Thanks for the help! I don't know if this is what you meant but I changed '

http://www.name.com'

to 'name.com' and everything worked. Well Duh......I should have know that!
