I'm trying to retrieve a cookie set in one domain (1) from another (2) using fsockopen, I think this is possible doing the next tips:
       1. in the domain 1 where I set the cookie I created a script (getcookie.php) which I retrieve cookie info.
       2. in the domain 2 I have a script (getcookieFromServer.php) where I use fsockopen to get the cookie content from domain 1 with the first script.

       I think this is possible and I'm working on this. My question is if this way is correct and if there is somebody can have a solution better.

       greetings to all.
       (sorry, this is my poor english, great eh!...)

I don't think what your trying to do is possible. Cookies are sent by browsers and at that are only sent to the domain name listed as creator of the cookie, so how can you get one from a socket connection?

If you could get a cookie from a simple socket connection that would constitute a major security threat, consider being able to get usernames and passwords from unsuspecting users by copying all of their cookies through a backdoor socket.

So having said that, I think you may be confusing the terminology. Can you rephrase your question and try and be more specific about what you're trying to do?

Thinking on this a little more..

Are you setting up a robot application that accesses websites, where you want to read the contents of the cookie sent from the website? In which case, I'm not sure we can be of help without seeing some code. Please post some relevant snips of code.
