Strange Cookie Format

2 New Member
Hi.

I have been trying to create a cookie container. But the cookie I have stored is not correct.

Below is the code:

request = CType(WebReques t.Create("..... "), httpWebRequest)

request.CookieC ontainer = New CookieContainer ()
myCookie = request.CookieC ontainer ' store the cookie as global variavble
.
.
.
'above request is a GET, after which I needed to POST

Dim request1 As HttpWebRequest
request1 = CType(WebReques t.Create("URL here is obtained from the response of the GET request previously"), HttpWebRequest)
request1.Cookie Container = myCookie
request1.Method = "POST"

GET is successful but POST failed. I have used a program to track my packets and realised that the GET and POST requests are treated together as 1 packet.

In addition, the cookie sent over by the POST request contains

Cookie: $Version=1; Aqu=lt=11903408 57; $Path=/; $Version=1; JJ=uuid-4ec51e83-bebd-4c94; $Path=/

This is rather weird as when I use normal IE to access the same website and login, the cookie I sent over will not contain "$Path=/; $Version=1".

In addition, for the POST request the response will be 403 forbidden. I suspect my cookies are wrong.

Can anyone advise on how I can remove "$Path=/; $Version=1" from the cookies?

By the way, does anyone know why GET and POST requests are treated as only 1 packet?

Many thanks.

How many do you think they should be?
Packet size is dependant generally on the underlying socket and tcp control of the hardware and communication between endpoints. Having a lot of data in one packet just generally means you have a good connection. (in simple terms at elast, way more to it then that)

I'm busy rewriting by F1 database and I want to use cookies to store various user definable views, (basically so that when the visitor returns to a specific page, that page will redisplay in the format that visitor saved). Problem is, I don't know if the cookie was accepted or not. setcook() returns TRUE if it worked but that doesn't indicate whether or not it was accepted. I tried the following:

Hi. I'm using the Cookie module (on the client side). I have found a problem trying to parse the cookie: "Set-Cookie: value=thevalue; path=/; expires=Fri, 21-May-2004 10:40:51 GMT" The date is not parsed correctly, only "Fri," is matched.

(Forgive the dupicate post, I had left out the OS Version out of the prior post.) Gentlemen, your urgent help is needed in solving a STRANGE problem. I have two servers a dev box, and a production box. On the dev box everything works fine, in production it hoses: One of the things a user can do is click a "Change region" link which takes them to a map of the world. They can then select one of four regions.

Hi all, I have an application that when finished redirects to a non-ASP.NET app which is choking on a huge ASP.NET session cookie. The cookie "ASP.NET_SessionId" gets transmitted by the browser (IE6 in test case) despite trying Microsoft's suggested method of expiring the cookie first. I'd like to be able to kill the cookie and do a Response.Redirect() from within a server-side button handler, but I'm to the point now where I'm...

I did try to find the answer to this before posting, so this isn't a knee jerk reaction. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a script that opens a cookie, reads a value, and then use a switch/case to take action based on that value in the cookie. I want to set the cookie manually, so I don't need setcookie(). I see that in PHP it stores the cookie in memory. Is there a way to have PHP just read a cookie from the desktop machine?...
