Hi All,

I am working on a module for our site and am running into a baffling problem. I am writing a module that provides a state listbox. When you select a state, it calls my webservice which then provides a cities listbox and available media channels for that city to be played by Windows Media Player.

The problem is I'm saving the listbox states in cookies. When I run my module stand-alone in a regular HTML page, everything works correctly.

Link to stand-alone module code: http://www.senior-clique.com/citiclique/

When on this page, select a state and city, then close your browser and re-open. You'll see that the settings have been retained.

But when I try to run it in DNN, state management is lost. Please look here: http://www.senior-clique.com

This is a MAJOR problem as the module is getting reset when navigating from page-to-page.

Is there something in DNN that is resetting cookies for the domain it is running on? Please help...

whoops, didn't paste the rest of the reply.

to test if httponly cookies are causing you the issue, try editing Library\HttpModules\Membership\MembershipModule.vb and commenting out the following block and recompiling

    'avoid adding to .net 2 as httpOnlyCookies default to true in 2.0
            If System.Environment.Version.Major < 2 Then
                Const HTTPONLYSTRING As String = ";HttpOnly"
                For Each cookie As String In Response.Cookies
                    Dim path As String = Response.Cookies(cookie).Path
                    If path.EndsWith(HTTPONLYSTRING) = False Then
                        'append HttpOnly to cookie
                        Response.Cookies(cookie).Path += HTTPONLYSTRING
                    End If
                Next
            End If
        End Sub

it's a slightly difference thing, it's a custom workaround for the broken asp.net 2.0 cookie expiration behaviour - see http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/EntryID/1784/Default.aspx for more details
