Re: Cookie Encoding/sharing ASP.Net and ASP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hallo Alex,

now i have the name url-encoded in the cookie, but without success... The ASP-Developer says, ASP will do decoding automaticly. Is this right?

I have attached a hardcopy...

Thanks

Stephan

Hi,

i have a little problem with cookie encoding. Our ASP.Net web-app uses
UTF-8/Unicode Encoding as default. Now we write an cookie with for example
the username in it. In Germany names can contain umlauts like äöüß...

Another web-app, written in ASP from another developer, read out the cookie
and have a problem with umlauts. They uses the ISO-8859-1 encoding, so there
are cryptic signs instead of the umlauts.

How can i save the username in the cookie with another encoding? I have
tried things like Encoding.Convert(unicode,iso, encodedBytes) but it doesn´t
work.

Thanks for any hint....

Hallo Stephan

according to this KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313282
ASP cookies are encoded in UrlEncode format, so maybe the problem is
that you would need to decode the data using UrlDecode in ASP.NET? Try
