Unregistered user Hmm actually that may be caused by the change to the cookie domain thing. Try logging out and logging back in, and see if it keeps happening after that.

alpha Message #6134, posted at 00:29, 24/4/2002, in reply to message #6133
Unregistered user Argh!

Ok, according to RFC 2109, "explicitly specified domain must always start with a dot", which suggests that my original method of setting '.iconbar.com' was correct. However that contradicts what Matthew said the other day, and I imagine he knows more about this than me. And if that was the correct way, how do you set a cookie to work on iconbar.com and www.iconbar.com but not the subdomains?

I'll leave it how it is for the moment (hopefully Matthew can come along and enlighten me!) - if you're having problems try removing the 'www' out of the site URL.

Unregistered user Yes, .iconbar.com was correct, to get it sent to *.iconbar.com (but not *.*.iconbar.com) To get it sent to www.iconbar.com you have to put that in as the cookie. Since iconbar.com and www.iconbar.com are completely different for the purposes of cookies, you have to set them both separately. I don't reckon people should use domains without server names, as it's dodgy because things like this happen. Just make any iconbar.com auto redirect to the corresponding www.iconbar.com. The same should happen for the subdomains, either that or they should be server aliases. It's just a bit inconsistent, and then problems occur. If you keep everyone else "one level down" with a www on everything then you can keep control over all of your cookies. Oh, and removing the www. didn't have much effect here :/

Unregistered user Well it's still wrong:
Set-Cookie: cookieusername=john; expires=Mon, 28-Oct-02 15:44:12 GMT; path=/; domain=iconbar.com
Set-Cookie: cookiepassword=*****; expires=Mon, 28-Oct-02 15:44:12 GMT; path=/; domain=iconbar.com
Set-Cookie: cookieoldlastvisit=1019581593; expires=Mon, 28-Oct-02 15:44:12 GMT; path=/; domain=iconbar.com

from www.iconbar.com

alpha Message #6144, posted at 15:47, 28/4/2002, in reply to message #6143
Unregistered user Ok hopefully I've sorted this now by removing the cookie domain completely. You'll need to remove all your old cookies using this script, and then log back in again.

The only side affect of this is that if you login at www.iconbar.com the cookies won't appear if you go to iconbar.com (and vice versa). But I imagine most people use one or the other so this shouldn't be much of a problem.

Well, I now can't log in with Oregano...? I'm having to lower myself to using Fresco to write this <spit> smile

Fresco's text areas always seem messed up here.

Matthew Message #6136, posted at 13:58, 15/6/2002, in reply to message #6134
Unregistered user Telnet doesn't seem to work on these English computers (don't ask smile ), so I can't see what change you've made to the cookies; I'll check this evening. What domain are they currently setting?

Ok, according to RFC 2109, "explicitly specified domain must always start with a dot", which suggests that my original method of setting '.iconbar.com' was correct.

That's correct, if you want the cookie to be sent to any sites ending in '.iconbar.com' - ie not to iconbar.com itself (though IE does do this, which is probably why the problem was never noticed), but to every other subdomain. And iconbar.co.uk wouldn't work either.

However that contradicts what Matthew said the other day, and I imagine he knows more about this than me.

Don't know what gives you that idea... smile

And if that was the correct way, how do you set a cookie to work on iconbar.com and www.iconbar.com but not the subdomains?

You can't with just one cookie, as far as I can tell. I think the only way to solve this problem is to not explicitly set a domain at all (you can skip its setting in PHP's setcookie), and let the cookie be set only for the domain currently being viewed. That would let iconbar.co.uk work as well. smile

ATB,
Matthew

Unregistered user Only bugfixes:
  • Fixed bug in viewforum.php3 where the last page link was being missed off on large threads
  • Made Rich's avatar kludge work for usernames with spaces
  • The user profile page no longer makes user's website into clickable links unless they contain 'http://'
  • Changed the domain used when setting cookies
  • Page links at the bottom of viewthread.php3 are now truncated if the thread stretches to more than 6 pages.
I haven't really tested any of this so let me know if I've b0rked anything in the process wink.

Unregistered user OK, now I can't even log in, it just doesn't set the cookie! I'm stuck out, and if this post works it'll be becuase of putting it in on the post... page. It says "you have logged in" but then it doesn't. Perhaps the cookie should be "www.iconbar.com" not "iconbar.com" ?

Who knows smile Maybe someone should read the rfc?
Apart from that, nice.

Neither of those things should happen as I haven't changed any of that code. Clearly you're hallucinating unhappy.
