Hi Chris
I have to point out that my values are gibberish anyway because they are
encrypted in a way that uses extended characters. If I set - retrieve
cookies which could be considered plain old 7 bit ASCII there's no problem,
it's just these extended character values.
So here's an example using some accented characters:
response.cookies("testASPset") = "bob - êëìí"
Asp returns
testASPset= bob - êëìí
CF returns
testASPset= bob - ???
(that's bob and three unprintable characters, but they could be anything)
So it's something to do with character encoding, which I am shamefully not
up to date with.
