Win32 apache + IE client cookie handling problem.

[Shao Ming <sh...@signetique.com>]

Hi to all,

I have encountered a very strange cookie handling behaviour.

I have two apache servers. One running off linux, the other on a win xp.
I wrote a simple cookie perl script that set two cookies on the browser
clients.
Uploaded the same script to the two server (both running Apache/1.3.26).

Here's the strange part.
IE is not detecting the cookies coming from the apache running off the
win xp.
It register the cookies from the linux machine okay.
Netscape registers cookies from both servers okay.

At first, I thought it could be an issue with the headers. So I run
'lynx -mime_header' on the two servers

[apache on linux]
 --- snipped ---
lynx -mime_header http://server1/cookie_test.pl
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 01:44:53 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.26
Set-Cookie: session=Hello; path=/
Set-Cookie: id=World; path=/
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

Hello World

[apache on win xp]
 --- snipped ---
lynx -mime_header http://server2/cookie_test.pl_test.pl
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 01:46:33 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.26
Set-Cookie: session=Hello; path=/
Set-Cookie: id=World; path=/
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

Hello World
 --- snipped ---

Both headers are the same! (I have even include 'ServerTokens Min' to
ensure the Server header is similar).

Does anyone knows why IE is not detecting the cookies coming from the
win xp machine? 
(Yes, I have already set the privacy option to prompt for cookies
acceptance).

I'm unable to launch the win xp apache server because of this ....
<sigh> pls. help!

Cheers!
