Simple question about cookie:

[Ivan Demkovitch]

Hi!

From what I understand cookies could be persisted or in-memory.

I need to set second one...

This code:
Response.Cookies["phpbb_data"].Value = Server.UrlEncode(phpC);
Response.Cookies["phpbb_data"].Path = "/";
Response.Cookies["phpbb_data"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1);

would place cookie on HDD regardless of "Expires" property (even if I don't
set it)

In MSDN I found object Cookie with property Discard. This is what I need,
but the one I use is HttpCookie.

How do I set this in-memory cookie???

Thanks!

If you create a cookie and don't set an expiration, it will expire as soon
as the browser session ends.

It doesn't. It show
ExpirationDate 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM

If you create a cookie and don't set an expiration, it will expire as soon
as the browser session ends.

how the browser remembers a cookie is browser dependant. IE always writes
the cookie to disk even if its a session cookie (no expir date)

cookies are just header records on a web request or response. when the
browser sees a cookier header in a response, it stores it for future use.
