Unusual cookie bug!

[Jensen bredal]

Hello,
I have an asp.net app. One of my pages works everywhere except at single
site.
My application uses cookies for user info.
The code passes the statement :
if (Request.Browser.Cookies)

meaning that cookies are allowed in the client browser.

But i can see that some code fails in a block where it reads a cookie values
obtained from the client pc.

The value is null (which it should not be)



Can a router/firewall/ proxy server kill my cookies?



Hundredes of other pc are viewing this page without problem?

Any idea where i should look?

Many Thanks in advance

Jensen

Or cookies might be disabled. AFAIK Request.Browser.Cookies tells wether or
not the browser *supports* cookies. It still can be disabled client side.
Have you checked wiht this particular user its settings ?

Where in IE can this be seen?
The user is using IE 6 + latest patches

Should be (translated from french) :

Tools, Internet Options, Condifentiality tab. you can control cookies for
globally, for individual sites or for a whole security zone.

AFAIK (you could give this a try), the highest level will block even session
cookies. If the config is not the same as yours you could try to repro on
your machine.

Good luck.

Äctually the site uses form login . and the user can actually log in . So
cookies are not disabled. Is that true?

When i disable cookies i can no longer log into the site.
