Hey all,
When looking in my cookie jar, I see 4 cookies for LUGNET:
NEWSPOST=x,
NEWSMAIL=x,
NEWSGROUPFILTER=x,
/=x
However, when I trace an HTTP GET, the only cookies transmitted in the query
are NEWSGROUPFILTER and / . e.g.:
GET http://www.lugnet.com/ HTTP/1.0
[...]
Cookie: NEWSGROUPFILTER=x; /=x
[...]
However, when I post a message (HTTP POST), Netscape sends more cookies.
e.g.:
POST http://www.lugnet.com/news/post/submit.cgi HTTP/1.0
[...]
Cookie: NEWSPOST=x; NEWSGROUPFILTER=x; /=x
[...]
How does Netscape know which cookies to send, and which to keep?
More to the point, if I were to implement this in my own app, should I just
send all cookies for every HTTP PUT?
Cheers,
