Web Development

It really all depends on how the applications was written. I wasn't aware that Mac browsers didn't support cookies. If the App requires them (most serious e-commerce apps do to track sessions) then they might not be able to use them.

However, if the app was written to pass all information, including sessionID on the URL or in the form POST then the Mac should still be able to use it without incident. That is, assuming that the App does not use any JavaScript/VBScript not supported by the browser you are using. (Come to think of it, Netscape 4.x on Mac did support cookies.)

In short, it really depends on the developer and what he/she was testing with. I've worked on systems where Netscape 2.x was the testing standard. Those apps worked on anything down to Lynx. :)
