So should I be doing toLowercase both when setting and getting?
i.e. document.cookie = cookieStr.toLowerCase();
and for my get, I should just set the search parameter to
param.toLowerCase() and then do the string comparison?
I want to elaborate a little bit more of why I'm asking this question
also, and give some precious description of my problem.
The problem is I have no control of how a client browser access my web
site. They could be coming in as "
http://www.testAbc.com/site1", or
they can be coming in as "
http://www.testAbc.com/SiTe1". The site's
Index.htm page then redirect the incoming request, to a internal ISAPI
call on the IIS server.
For example when a client come in from the browser as
"
http://www.testAbc.com/SiTe1", all cookies created will be only be
accessible for pages that contain "
http://www.testAbc.com/SiTe1" in the
window.location property, correct? Since all my pages are generated
dynamically by the ISAPI DLL, the window.location property could be
change without my notice... and if the page somehow got
"
http://www.testAbc.com/site1" stored in the window.location property,
then I won't be able to access the cookie that I intended to.
Sorry for my very broken English. It's really hard to try to explain
technical detail when I have still a fairly limited understanding of
JavaScript. I hope I didn't confuse the original problem...
Much appreciate for the help in advance.
I would like to point out, I've been using these common utilities
function as well, for handling my cookie within the pages. Maybe I can
tweak these utility functions to solve my problem?
