cookie problem when local time behind iis server

Sorry if this isn't a good place for this question.

I have a problem with losing cookie values whenever a user's local machine
date/time is behind the date & time of the IIS machine. The login page sets
some cookie values (using Response.Cookie s) and redirects to another page
which then checks for the cookie values. I've noticed that when a user's
local date/time is behind that of the IIS machine, the cookie values are
always empty. I have a test page that shows that the subkey names under the
cookie all still exist but the associated values are empty. If I set my
machine's time ahead of the server & try again, everything works. Is there
anything I can check to help me figure out why they're disappearing? I've
tried setting the cookie expiration far off into the future, etc., with no
success.

I'm running the latest version of IE. The only other thing I can think of is
that I'm using a mixed asp.net & asp environment. The login page is vb.net
(setting the cookie values) and I'm redirecting to a classic asp page
(reading the cookie). This hasn't been a problem except for this strange
client date/time dependency. Thanks for any help.

Say, I want to set a cookie and have it expire an hour after it's set. It's looking like this is only possible for browsers which are in the same time zone as my server?? In other words, if I set my cookie with: setcookie('CookieName', $SomeValue, time()+3600, "/");

Hi I have asked this question in alt.php as the time() function as used in setcookie belongs to php - or does it belong equally in the javascript camp - bit confused about that.

How does the expire date work setting it server side with asp. I know with javascript setting it client side it will be set to the clients local time, and therefore expire when the clients local time reaches the set expire-time. But if it is an expire time set on my server in California, and the cookie is put on a computer that is running on London Time, and the expire time is set at the server as 20 minutes from now, the London computer...

Hi, I'm trying to use the cookie munging session handling behaviour of asp.net instead of cookies themselves as I'm finding quite a few people are barring cookies (especially AOL users). If I change the setting in web.config everything seems to work fine as long as I'm using relative paths. The problem is I've got a menuing system that's generated from a site-wide template - so I use a fixed path from the application root - (ie:...

Hi, (newbie question) I've created some simple .NET ASP application that should store cookies at the client machine. According to the documentation cookie expiration time is set via HttpCookie.Expires property, but property value is the time of day on the client. How can I possibly know client local time ?

After a server created cookie is processed on the client I want it removed, cleared, or expired in the javascript block but have been unable to do this. If I set a cookie value in the server code behind and don't use a domain then I can not change or remove that cookie's value on the client. If I subsequently create the cookie again in the codebehind then I actually end up with TWO cookies with the same name in the response. The cookie...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
