[Catalyst] IE Cookie problems

[Shawn Ferris]

Eh -- neither worked.. I've never truly understood why people disklike IE, until now.. what a POS!
 
I'm still trying to work out the whole p3p stuff.. maybe that's my answer.. but I don't know why.. my cookies aren't 3rd party.. They're all coming from the same server.. anyone have a quick ref link for setting up a p3p policy in a test environment? (Using apache2)
 
Is there anyway to get IE to ignore privacy stuff for a domain, just to make sure that's my problem before going through the hassle of p3pimping my site?
 
at least I'm not totally dead in the water.. I still got trusty old FF on my side.

This has the form which is posting the un/pw back to itself.. then upon successful authentication, I see the session being created in the logs and then it's redirecting to the "main" page. It's almost taken 100% from the Cookbook. (There are errors in the code in the Cookbook that I've had to fix) -- and again, it's working from Firefox. I think I have everything correct, IE just doesn't take it.

IE being retarded, have you tried running the test server with either -k 
(keepalive) or -f (fork)? I've seen inexplicable problems magically go 
away by doing that before (and never show up if you've got an HTTP proxy 
in front of the test server, or if you're using anything else to serve 
the app, or if the phase of the moon is different, and of course if 
you're using anything except Intarwub Exploder) ...
