[opencms-dev] Cookies in OpenCMS again ...

Tue May 13 23:08:01 CEST 2003

I had a similar problem; it looks like the cookie isn't getting set in
the correct context when in opencms (I was using the response tag
library). I proved it out by examining the actual http headers as they
flew by. My code worked fine outside of the cms. I can send you a quick
and dirty perl proxy server that echoes out the headers + the bodies of
page requests as they fly by, if interested.

I came up with a workaround of using javascript to set the cookie at the
destination page- inelegant, but functional.

I'd suggest digging into the page context stuff- it looks like that's
where the response header is coming from.

Good luck,

Tim
