Is there a way to check if a browser accepts cookies without doing a redirect? I'm trying to fix a problem in the AD Provider where if a user has cookies turned off DNN goes into an infinite loop. Everything I've read/tried wants to use a redirect but so far if I try to use one when the AD Provider is initialized throws an error into the logs.

AFAIK the answer is no, you have to have 2 seperate page instances, one where the cookie is set and one where it's existance is checked for (of course this can be a redirect to the same page as well as 2 seperate pages). I looked into this for normal authentication before and it looked like i'd have to add a link to the login page that created a popup to do this check. However, as so many people block popups this wasn't feasible either really, so i never found a good solution. If you do find one yourself, please let me know.

I'll keep hunting Cathal, thanks. I've seen other post in the AD forums before about the problem but it never clicked what it was until I was doing some live testing with the next version of the AD provider and we saw our logs just getting hammered. One or two people with cookies turned off can easily at an extra 50MB to a log file and I'm under fire from my boss because of it.
