Re: Cookie setting with IP address, not Domain name

the domain you specify for the cookie must belong to request domain. if the
browser is seeing an ipaddress, then you can not specify a domain. the
browser seeing the ipaddress is usualy caused by a redirect, or proxy
infront of the server.

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 site that stores a cookie on the browser. Instead of
the domain name (www.somename.com) it comes accross as the IP address of
the
server. This works in Firefox, but fails with IE 6 because of security.
I
went through and forced the Domain like this:

this.Response.Cookies["culture"].Value = "en-MX";
this.Response.Cookies["culture"].Expires =
DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
this.Response.Cookies["culture"].Domain = "somename.com";

This results in Firefox denying the cookie, as well as IE. Why is the
cookie coming across as an IP address? Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance.

Todd
