HttpWebRequest / CookieContainer - not deleting cookies.

macro

when I use HttpWebRequest with CookieContainer object that handles cookies,
if I have this cookie header in a response:

Set-Cookie: CookieName=; path=/;expires=01-Jan-1999 00:00:00 GMT

the cookie is not deleted for the next request, what should be and actually
done with Internet Explorer as client.

is this a bug is there a solution / workaroung by manually deleting the
cookie?

TIA.

this article discusses the server side handling of cookies while I'm asking
about a specific issue regarding client side cookie handling.
or maybe I miss your point?

The method of creating the cookie on the server affects the client-side
behaviors particularly where the Expires atttibute does or does not function
as expected. The article also discusses the expiration date you said your
using and has something to say about that approach.

the problem here is handling standard cookie header responses from servers
that are not in my control. those servers exist out there in the internet
and allowed to treat cookie this way.
the problem is that the cookieContainer that is supplied by the framework
doesn't handle this cookie headers as a standard client suppose to - the way
internet explorer does for example.
i hope i make the problem clearer for you and others that might read this
and can help regarding the problem the cookieContainer doesn't delete
cookies it suppose to delete, and what am I as a dot net programmer should
do about that in order to solve the problem.

CookieContainer reorders cookies

I've run into a problem working with the CookieContainer and was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. The CookieContainer reorders it's cookies.

I'm trying to programatically mine newsgroups like yahoo (among others), but need to be able to sign into the site first. my assumption is that when i sign in, a session cookie is created and is used to verify my identity for each http request after that. Does anyone have an example of using the HttpWebRequest with a URL that requires a logon web page first, before accessing the content pages? Thanks
