    Posted: 23 July 2003 at 11:22am

Is it possible to modify the program to read cookies from multiple domain? for example, if the current forum is located at http://www.sherwood.com/forum, however, this url also aliased to http://forum.sherwood.com. Is it possible for users continue to use the settings?

Thanks,

Sherwood

you will need to set the cookie domain to simply
"sherwood.com" and set the path to "/"

I don't think that is possible though. It is seen as a seperate domain when you have a subdomain. It would be bad is customer1.isp.com could read the cookies of customer2.isp.com

In the example above customer1 and customer2 could only read each others cookies if the domain was set to simply "isp.com" by default the domain is set to the domain (and sub domain) from which the cookis is set however if you set the domain name to simply the domain without a sub domain then it is accessible for any sub domains because cookies aren't accessible across domains (not sub domains).

If you go to webwiz.net you will note that you are not logged into the forum, if you logged in at www.webwiz.net.

Go back to www.webwiz.net and log out. Now go to webwizwguide.info and log in. Now return to www.webwiz.net and note that you are logged back in. Furthermore if you try to log out at www.webwiz.net you can't, and you need to go back to webwiz.net to log out.

The syntax is
Response.Cookies("cookie").Path ="/"
Response.Cookies("cookie").Domain ="domainname"

where cookie is the name of your cookie and domainame is the your domain (with or without the subdomain).
