Internet Explorer dropping cookies

by txitguy . Updated 24 years, 1 month ago

Internet Explorer is giving me a major headache with session cookies (i.e. cookies set without an expiration date). We have a web application that interacts with the user frequently for sessions lasting between 20 minutes and 1 hour, 15 minutes.Especially on the longer sessions, Internet Explorer will be chugging merrily along…and then will suddenly decide it no longer wants to send any cookies back to the server. I know what to do if IE doesn’t return cookies from the very beginning, that you can test for, but to have it stop talking in the middle of a session is illogical…and most frustrating.

Does anyone here know why Internet Explorer is doing this? More importantly, can anyone tell me what I can do to force IE to behave?

Thanks,
Ben Nelson
