I've noticed a strange problem with setting cookies in ASP when the
cookie name you're setting exists in the querystring. The company I
work for has many partner sites who link to our site like this: www.mycompany.com/partner.asp?PartnerID=??? The partner.asp page then
sets a cookie called PartnerID containing the value from the
querystring.
We have noticed, however, that if the partner calls the partner.asp
page and alters the capitalization of 'PartnerID' then another cookie
gets set which takes the capitalization of 'PartnerID' from the
querystring. All of the other asp pages in the site then seem to read
the first cookie set and thus it appears that the 'wrong' partner
settings are being used.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? Unfortunately altering the
cookie or querystring names would be a non-trivial task so this is not
an option at the moment.

How are you setting the cookie? Unless you're grabbing the name part from
the name/value pair in the querystring and using that as a cookie, the
cookie name will be whatever you set it as. Are you sure that you aren't
doing something like Request("partne rid") as opposed to
Request.QUERYST RING("partnerid ") or Request.COOKIES ("partnerid" )?

The code below reproduces the problem. If I go to http://localhost/cookies.asp?Partner=ABC
I see 'Partner=ABC;' in the JavaScript cookie string. If I then go to http://localhost/cookies.asp?Partner=DEF
then the cookie gets changed as expected. If I then try http://localhost/cookies.asp?PArtner=GHI
then another Partner cookie gets appended to the querystring like this
Partner=DEF; ASPSESSIONIDSSA ATSAT=LFFBLJKAB HFOLLGDOCGOCKOI ; PArtner=GHI
which gives two cookies with the same name (except for capitalisation) .
Eifion
<%
strSource = Request.QuerySt ring("Partner")
Response.Cookie s("Partner") = strSource
%>
<Html>
<Head>
<Title></Title>
</Head>
<Body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write( document.cookie );
</script>
</Body>
</Html>
Although I never thought about if this would carry through to such code,
javascript is a case sensitive language. What are you doing with that
client side cookie code anyway?

Nothing. The problem is that VBScript seems to get confused when reading
the cookies back on the server and sometimes gets the 'wrong' one when I
do a Request.Cookies ("PartnerID" ), ignoring the most recently set
partner cookie and choosing an earlier one.

Dear Experts:
I have a problem with my JS cookies. I am setting cookies in files

The cookies that are in ROOT are working perfectly. No problem. The
cookies set in ROOT/dir1/dir2, however, "seemed" to be set and read

Hi guys
I've come across a problem with cookies. It seems that if one attempts to
save several cookies in quick succession and then read them back again, you
may attempt to read a cookie that has not yet been saved from the first
operation. I assume that this is because JavaScript via the browser hands
the job over to the OS and then merrily proceeds upon its way.
As it happens, I solved the problem by rewriting my code to use one...

Hi,
I try to insert a graphic (bitmap) to the first file. No problem any more
with that.
But the graphic generated in the second file (graf2.aspx) must receive
values from the the first file. I do that with
cookies. It works when i send ONE cookie, but if i send two cookies from the
first file, i get the browser-error: "can't render the page (or something
like that) ... check your configuration etc ...".
