This article will explain the problems faced with detecting cookies in ASP and address them one by one. You will then be presented with a cookie detection script written in ASP that you can use on your own site.
This tutorial describes: How ASP server uses cookies to pass an ID with the browser to link multiple HTTP requests together. How ASP server offers the session object to ASP pages to share information between multiple requests or pages. Different ways to pass information between requests or pages. How Perl tools can be used to help debug ASP applications at the HTTP communication level.
Cookies are a very useful; they can store usernames/password, preferences, last visits, etc. This short explains how to store information a user may type in at a typical website.
Cookies are not transferrable across domains; the only domain that can access the cookie is the domain that created it. This article describes solutions to bypass this limitation using Active Server Pages.
A cookie is a message given to a Web browser by a Web server. The main purpose of cookies is to identify users and possibly prepare customized Web pages for them. This article explains benefits of using cookies and shows how to create and retrieve them. Dictionary cookies are also explained.
Cookies can be a good method for passing data between pages and especially for retaining data between sessions. Today, it's pretty safe to assume that anyone who is using your site can use cookies, since nearly every site that is non-static makes use of them(including all ASP sites that use sessions). It is also possible to set and read cookies using client-side code, but it is a bit more difficult. Reading and writing cookies using Active Server Pages' built in Request and Response objects is incredibly easy.
No matter how you feel about cookies, good bad or indifferent, they are an integral part of many webs. Why not unlock the mystery and write your own? Here's a quick rundown on this.
This article describes three simple techniques which combine persistent cookie management and creative redirects to give users a consistent experience as they move through sites in different subdomains and domains.
Session variables can store user-specific information for you. This tutorial explain how to configure your server and how they work (and when they don't).
