Disappearing ASP Cookies
I have a classic ASP page which links through to an ASP.NET 1.1 page.
Basically there is a hyperlink on the classic ASP page that opens the ASP.NET
page in the same window. I can then go back to my classic ASP page by
clicking on a link on the ASP.NET page. It all seems to work seamlessly,
apart from 1 end user. What they find is that if they click on the link and
open up the ASP.NET page, then go back to the classic ASP page, all the
classic ASP cookies have been emptied out, yet the session info still
remains. They are running on a Windows Server 2003 machine with IIS 6. I've
tried to replicate it here, but as yet have been unsuccessful.

My website uses cookies to persist a certain amount of data on the client. However, occasionally the cookies will disappear or be set to an empty string for no discernable reason. It does not happen in our development environment at all, but does happen in our production environment. We looked at all the likely settings and they were identical on both the production and live servers.
We set the cookie domain properly and the cookie path.
Has anyone seen similar behavior? And if so, what did you do about it? What IIS settings should I be looking at? Could it be a service pack that was installed on one machine but not another?

I have some page content stored in an Access DB. I want it pulled from the db and posted to a .asp page. I am using Dreamweaver to create a simple query and to display the data. If the data is just plain text it will display. However, if I enter any HTML (even entity references) the page still renders but the text will not show up. I don't get an error or anything. Everything else works just find but the text does not show. If I change the content in the DB back to plain text it will show up again. What the heck is going on? Anyone have any ideas? I need it two display with the HTML as this is part of a small CMS for a client.

I've got some bizarre behavior going on with my ASP code below. For
some strange reason (and I'm a newbie to ASP so it's probably obvious
to others) I can't display all the rows of data from the query. As an
example, the Problem Solution column doesn't display and unless I
comment out another column. Or if I move Problem Solution and it make
ithe first column, then the Root Cause won't display. Code:

I have a site that works fine for days, then suddenly, I start getting ASP 0115 errors with an indication that session variables IN SEPARATE SESSIONS have disappeared!
First, for background information, I have a customized 500-100 page that sends the value of various session variables via email to my support site. On the home page of the site, the FIRST THING that is done is a Session variable is created that saves the Session ID. I see an ASP 0115 error thru the email, with NO value defined for the session variable that SHOULD contain the Session ID. After the first error, I see more of them.

I am calling a subroutine when I click a submit button. In the subroutine I grab values from text boxes and validate them. If it all works then it goes to the Update page.
Well my validating works but when it calls the Update page I am using the Request.Form to get the values from the form to update/insert into the database.
Well if I do an update it updates all the fields as empty. If I try to do an insert is says it can't insert NULL into the Primary key field.
Now most of the time the Primary key field is a list box and I don't touch it in the subroutine. Still why are all my values disappearing when I call the subroutine??
So I guess that is it. When I validate a forms values, them same values are no longer available on another page through Request.Form?

In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One
of them, I set as follows:
dim UserID
UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)
When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from
Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the
correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home
page of my application using the same code,
Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or
cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML
headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after
Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID
created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on
the home page.
I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the
Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say
that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even
able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values
although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did
so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried
setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few
days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it
but this did not work either.
Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in
the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available???
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.

I am creating a user tracking app that tracks a user one of two ways...
1)First Method is cookies
2)Second Method MS SQL DB
I first check if the users browser accepts cookies if not I go to the db. If the user accepts cookies then I check for a specific crumb if it does not have the value I am looking for I kill it and rewrite it. This is working fine (im in the middle of testing it). The problem is I decieded to test the script with NN7 and not turn cookies off but block cookies from my site and all fell apart. The condition that I have set (detect if cookies are enabled) does not stop the script from trying to set a Session Variable because the browser accepts cookies and to keep a long story short it goes into an infinite loop because the script is looking for a Session value and Its not being stopped becaues the script thinks its alright to write cookies! Is there a way to detect if a user has your sites cookies blocked? This is important because Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType") will return .Cookies = True and you will not know that your script is not executing properly because a user has your sites cookies blocked but excepts them elsewhere...

I've built a website which requires a user to log-in to access the site. I have already built a page that enters their details into a db (register.asp), and another page where the user enters their email address (the log-in ID) to actually log-in (login.asp).
How can I use a cookie to automatically log a user in??
More specifically, what are the commands to set a cookie (upon successful registration) and access it (upon re-logging in)?

Hey i've spent the last few hours trying to work this problem out about cookies.
When a user logs in to the site the login.asp page checks the database to see the personal page that the user re directs to e.g if bob brown logged in he would be redirected to bob.brown.asp. This is stored in a field in the database table along with the username and password.
i would like to put a cookie onto the users computer that remembers the url they were redirected to so when they press the main page button it would look for the cookie and see what url they are meant to be redirected to and take them there
My current login system is this ....

I'm trying to load up a page through my asp page and get the cookie from that page so that I can use it later on when it needs to have it to access other parts of the site.
Basically the asp page is going to act like a browser and store the cookie from the other site, then send that cookie back when the asp page goes back to the other site again.
The problem is, I can only seem to access my own cookie. I didn't run into this problem when I was doing a similar thing inside my .cs scripts that were run by the server, as I suppose they were not coming from the actual domain that my page is running on (and thus, wasn't getting everything trampled by local cookies).
Is this possible, or should I just give up on it now?

im building a site for a few doctors surgeries. the user is able to see what appointments are available and then book that date/time. i have a table (in my db) of dates/times and a checkbox to say whether the time has been booked or not (and display only times that havnt been booked). i was going to have the user add the time to a "cart" and then check the "booked" checkbox in my db when theyve paid for that appointment. but if i have lots of people looking at the site at the same time, then they may be able to see times that are just about to be booked. i think a better way is to have the date/time stuffed into a cookie which expires after 5 minutes. so when a user adds a time to their "cart", it will say something like: "this time will expire in 5 minutes until you book it or re-add it to your cart". does that make sense?
how can i do this with server-cide cookies (im using jscript)? can anyone think of a better way to do this?

I need to set a cookie on a user after they have logged in. I want to
use just the user's login name , since that is a unique field.
If rsPersonIDCheck.EOF Then
Session("blnValidUser") = False
Else
Session("login") = rsPersonIDCheck("login")
but:
set Cookies("User") = Session("login")
seems not to be creating the cookie

cookies per browser, 20 keys per cookie per domain and 4KB
max size of each cookie. i'm are unable to retreive this

I found that a number of my sites that send email using CDO failed withing the past 30 days. Consider the following. I know its not the best coding practice to open and close the connection so many times but Im curious why this would all of a sudden become an issue.
1. Have a few large sites essentially all variables such as SMTP server are set using cookies so I can deploy multiple sites quickly.
2. Within the site email appears to work correctly across all pages with 1 exception.
3. The exception is below, Im wondering if it has to do with cookies having to be retrieved multiple times from the client machine
--Call db run search loop data build array
--Based on data in array call another search alter and finalize array
--Do while <= uBound(myArray)
--Call Email sub (from,to,sub,body) ' Sub contains a request cookies for SMTP server.
--Loop
Doesnt matter if its 2 or 50 emails always fails when using request.cookies to set the SMTP in the sub. Works fine if I hard code the IP. This same sub is used multiple times throughout the website and works fine with cookies.
Just curious why it needs might need to be hard coded in the loop. Has been running for about 6 months fine and have recently started noticing failures.

I started using the following code, although, I have a feeling it is not working. Also, do I have to place the same code on all accessed pages? Code:
<%
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie") = "Expiration"
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie").Expires = DateAdd("d", 1, Now())
Response.Cookies("ExpCookie").Secure = True
Response.Cookies("LastVisit") = Date & " " & Time
%>
I am new at all of this, I can understand that this cookie will expire an hour after being access on a given day (is that right?), and it will create the cookie with the printed date and time of access. how can I make sure cookie expire on time.

I need to build my own simple cart that writes to cookies only. I can write
and read cookies, but don't have a clue as to how I can add multiple
products, change quantites, etc. All I need is a cart that stores
information in cookies and the user prints their order. That's it. Where can
I find such information?
