Hi, should cookies work when referring to an 'external' site in a
frame?
Here is the situation: http://mysite.com/page1.html contains a frame
to http://othersite.com/otherpage1.html. When I navigate in the frame
from otherpage1.html to http://othersite.com/otherpage2.html the server
returns a cookie for the browser to set. But it appears that the
cookie is not sent back to othersite.com when navigating from
otherpage2.html.
All of this happens in a frame within http://mysite.com/page1.html .
I have looked at the http headers and it appears that the only field
which is added compared to navigating othersite.com outside a frame
is the Referer header which points to mysite.com/page1.html.
Does the Referer header prevent the cookie from being sent back
to othersite.com ?
This is all using IE7.
Cheers
