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.
