Cookies

How does someone set cookies? I looked all over windows 98 and XP. No dice.

Thanks

For cookies, they are not set in 98 or XP, they are set in PHP/Javascript or
VBScript within HTML Web services.

How do I set them none the less?

Well in PHP you use the command

setcookie ( string name [, string value [, int expire [, string path [,
string domain [, int secure]]]]])
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

Javascript
Client Side

Server Side Request
http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/...t_cookies.html
Server Side Response (Write)
http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/...e_cookies.html

VBScript
Use the Javascript Links above for Server or you can use the session values.

Hi Tino,
I don't think I understand your question. Are you asking "How does one
configure cookie-handling in Win 98"? If this is your question, look in:

Start/Settings/Control Panel/Internet Options applet/Privacy tab (Settings
and Websites)

I have my IE set as strict as possible:
- Override automatic cookie handling
- Prompt both First and Third party cookies
- Don't always allow session cookies.

Then i see every cookie that a website tries to push onto my machine,
and I decide to accept it or not. It gets a little tedious sometimes, but I
don't think most of these cookies are necessary, so I don't like them, and
don't accept them. I accept only those cookies from specific entities with
which i want to do business, like nytimes or amazon.com.

The other possible interpretation of your question is "how does a web
server set cookies on my machine." but i don't think that's what you're
asking.

regards,
js.
