I am using LoginManager with Basic Cookie Authentication (using Zope 2.3.1b1). When I successfully login, I expect the browser to receive a cookie, right? Now, the problem is this: Netscape 4.76 on Linux and Links 0.82 on Linux don't pick up the cookie. Whereas, Lynx 2.8.3 on Linux and IE 5.something on Windows 2000 do pick it up.
Has anyone experienced this? On similar/other browsers/platforms? Do you know why this is happening?
Yes, many times. Do your cookie include "domain" part? It may cause the problem. Or even worse - what was the real URL you tried? Due to security considerations browsers tend to drop cookies from 2nd-level domains. Because of this one of our sites had installed forced redirect from http://russ.ru/ to http://www.russ.ru/. I remember the same problem wit Russian free-mail site au.ru. They recommended me to switch to www.au.ru - and all went well.

Thanks so much, Oleg! That was it! I forced everything to www.my.domain and things work fine, now! -- ---------------------------------- Observation is the essence of art. ----------------------------------
