This is a new issue I am having. I have had my cookies working for a while now and have a few problems I need help working out. If it was just http://mysite.net, the setting the domain to .mysite.net would allow users to use both mysite.net and www.mysite.net

The problem I am having is that I need to set the cookie to also work on the site alias of mysite.com and www.mysite.com.

Is there a method that will allow this to work? Is there a better way than using cookies?

Help or comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

-Matt

Forgot to mention the entire site is written in ASP on a windows Server. I don't think .htaccess will work on a windows server will it?

Now there you have me. Not at all familiar with Windows server. Might see if this helps are leads you in the right direction...

Setting Up the Microsoft DNS Server

If you don't think that will help, let me know and I'll ask for someone else to look at your post.

Unfortunately this is hosted for me so I don't have that access. I think I may just have to re-direct all .com users to the .net site.

Any web page can be redirect with the refresh meta tag. It could be set to zero time delay and point to wherever you want. Would that work for you a lot better?

[Immortalarena]

it might. I know ASP has the ability to redirect without the meta tag: Response.redirect("http://mysite.net")

The problem is that both sites are on the same host. So I'm not sure how this would work. The .com is an alias of the .net site. So it's not like they get a different site when they visit the .com site. The 301 Permanent redirect would appear to be for a move of Server A to Server B as well as a change in the site. I will keep looking into this. Thanks again for the help so far.

OK. Sorry I don't have enough experience with ASP. The meta tag will send you to where you want to go, but not sure if you can use it:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mysite.net/">
