access_asp thread: cookies and proxy servers


Message #1 by jake williamson 28 <jake.williamson@2...> on Wed, 05 Jun 2002 11:29:30 +0100
grrrr!!

just had someone at a corporate company email me and say that one of my
sites doesn't work because it uses cookies on the home page and they have a
proxy server...

is this the case? it's the first email i've had about this since the site
launch (nearly 6 months ago) and i cant believe this is the only 'proxy
server' person to hit it??!!

as always, any feedback would be great,

jake

Hi Jake

Not much you can do about this it is possible to configure a proxy server 
to reject cookies (IMO not wise but some companies can be particularly 
paranoid).  You could write a little ASP script to check for cookies and 
redirect the user to a "non-cookie" page.

Cheers
Darrell

thing i cant figure out it the site's been live for some time, as are other
sites that i've built around the same idea.

error! dont get it!
