[thelist] Reading an ASP cookie on another application server

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

Hi Chris,

	Actually, I was thinking that -- in the process of doing other
stuff -- your CF page could simply make a request to, say,
"cookie.asp?cookieKey=mygibberish" and the page would return the value
of the "mygibberish" cookie that was set in ASP.

	If you're going to get rid of ASP eventually, then this solution
would be perfect, since you'll only need it as long as the cookie is
being set in ASP.

Hi Peter

I'm not sure what you mean exactly but if you're suggesting cflocation
to an asp page, then response.redirect back to CF with the result, well
this is my last  resort.  At the end of the day, I'm going to want rid
of ASP and IIS.

Javascript, is actually quite happy, I can location.href the value to a
resulting page, display the value on the same cf page as the direct
cookie output and it's fine.

ie

    #cookie.testASPset# = gibberish
    #url.the_same_cookie_vlaue_retrieved_by_javascript# = perfect!!

of course document.write the javascript retrieved cookie works too, I
just wanted to see ColdFusion output the same thing

It's just CF that won't read the value in ?!?
