Home: Perl Programming Help: Intermediate: Can't set Cookie through SSI

liox0001 Deleted Nov 12, 2000, 7:54 AM Post #1 of 4 (236 views) Can't set Cookie through SSI Can't Post Okay, my problem is my SetCookie script would send a cookie if I access the script directly. But it doesn't work when I called it through SSI. I searched the net for hours for an answer... I been only able to find people asking the same quesiton, but no answer! Please help! Thanks in advance!

I tired using the <img> tag (<img src=cookie.cgi> ) to access the cookie script. the <img> and <iframe> method, if the script would only set a cookie. however, my script also log the access stat. by using the two method mentioned, it would not log the information correctly... anyway, i guess i have to splite my script into two different ones... one to set cookie and the other to log the stat. thanks.

The headers have already been received and parsed by the browser at the time the html page is fetched, but before the ssi is invoked. The only way that I'm aware of to set cookies after the headers have been sent is to use javascript cookies.
