 Posted: Sat Feb 04, 2006 4:52 am Post subject: CGI Script Can't Find Cookie |
 |
|
I'm relatively new to Delphi, so this might be a simple question,
but...
I'm developing a cgi web app using Delphi 6 on WinXP/IIS5.1. It is
not a root level application. The URL looks like:
http://localhost/TradingPost/ I set up IIS so that the local path is
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TradingPost, and the application name is
TradingPost. I then set up the default document to be my cgi
executable (TradingPost.exe). I have also set up a default action in
the application itself. I set the cookie with this code:
Response.SetCookieField(cookie, '', '', -1, false);
I set up IIS this way so that when someone types in
http://localhost/TradingPost, it will fire the default action of the
exe. This appeared to be working fine until I tried to implement a
login page using cookies. Now I am observing some unexpected
behavior. The following is a summary of that behavior.
Cookie Set:
http://localhost/TradingPost/ yields the login page
http://localhost/TradingPost/TradingPost.exe yields the login page
http://localhost/TradingPost/TradingPost.exe/ yeild the user page
(Correct behavior).
I expected the short URL to work same as the long one since I set the
default document to the executable. Additionally, the correct default
action fires every time; it just can't find the cookie. Does anyone
know WHY the application behaves this way, and if there is a way to
get the behavior I desire?
Thank you,
John |

Thanks, but no effect. I've already implemented a workaround. I |
created a default.htm file with a meta redirect to the correct page.
Works fine for what I want. |
