Please observe the pages below:
session1.asp
<%
Session("test") ="TESTING"
Response.Redire ct "session2.a sp"
%>
session2.asp
<%
Response.Write Session("test")

Those pages does not output any thing if I use IE and If I access the pages
from machines running Windows 2000 Server, XP or Windows NT Server. Opera
outputs as per session variables name.
IIS server is running Windows 2000 server. I've checked the cookie settings
which was set to accept cookies.
I tried IE 5.0, IE 5.5 and IE 6.0

The only way a browser can affect the ability to use sessions is by
allowing/disallowing cookies.

Within the same window, perhaps that is true. But Internet Explorer goes the
extra mile with the ability to prevent separate windows (or frames) from
sharing cookies with each other. And in a manner that's uncontrollable, no
less. Bravo, Microsoft!

Please observe the code snippet
Shot #1
sample1.asp
<%
Session("test") ="Session Testing"
Response.Cookie s("cookietest") ="Cookie Testing"
Response.write Session("test")
Response.Write Response.Cookie s("cookietest ")
%>
Does outputs Session Testing and Cookie Testing where as shot #2 does output
anything:
Shot #2
sample1.asp
<%
Session("test") ="Session Testing"
Response.Cookie s("cookietest") ="Cookie Testing"
Response.Redire ct "sample2.as p"
%>
sample2.asp
<%
Response.Write Session("test")
Response.Write Response.Cookie s("cookietest ")
%>
I've tested those pages on Avant Browser ( which is also IE based), it too
behaves as IE does. When I test pages on Opera, Netscape Navigator the pages
does output.
Why do IE behaves strangely on handling cookies and sessions? or Does IE
really has the ability to handle sessions efficiently?
Is there any patches available to fix the issue?
Any great workaround would be very much useful and appreciated.
TIA

I tested your code on my machine and discovered that the Redirect was the
problem. I changed the code to this:
<%
Session("test") ="Session Testing"
Response.Cookie s("cookietest") ="Cookie Testing"
Response.Redire ct "Sample2.asp?Se ssID=" & session.Session ID
%>
<%
Response.Write Session.Session ID & "<BR>"
Response.Write Session("test") & "<BR>"
Response.Write Request.Cookies ("cookietest ")
%>
And discovered that Redirect was causing a new session to be initiated. I
don't remember this behavior occurring so a recent service pack must be
responsible.
When I changed "Response.Redir ect" to "Server.Transfe r", the Session and
Cookie variable values were retained.

You don't understand. Recent SP's for IE have been tightening security. I do
not believe that a SP will be released to reverse this change.

[...Must...resis t...temptation. ..]
Regarding this specific issue, one thing is wrong with Internet Explorer. IE
attempts to guess when it should share sessions between browser windows. The
problem isn't that IE has this ability. The problem is that the user (and
consequently the developer) has no control over it.
...Do I need to disregard IE and to opt for other browsers?
That's a virtual impossibility, isn't it? All recent estimates I've seen put
IE saturation between 80% and 89% of the UA population. Rather than
disregard IE, you will have to learn to embrace what it *can* do, and pine
for what it *could* do (e.g. CSS attribute selectors).

When I use a host file entry to point to the host header of the site
that I have created on a Win2k server running IIS5, a cookie is not
created to hold the session id. The result is that Session_OnStart is
run every time a page is requested.
If I set up a DNS entry on the DNS server it all works fine.
I never noticed this problem before we put in Active Directory so it
may have something to do with that.

hi,
i set a cookie to hold a utf-8 string. either by the server or by the
client. it doesn't matter.
when i try to read this cookie using Request.Cookies("my_utf8_cookie")
on iis 5.0 i get garbage.
this garbage seems to be the result of treating the utf-8 data as some
single-byte encoding.
i have <%@ codepage="65001"%set on the top of the page.
this problem does not appear on iis 5.1.
