Hi.
I have an ASP (3.0, not .NET) app that writes cookies with hyphens and
spaces in the names and values. If I had the control over the apps that will
be looking for these cookies, I would eliminate the special characters, but
as it is, I do not have that luxury.
When I write the cookies, they seem okay in IE, but in Firefox, they are
strange. For example, the cookie name is US-NONUS, but in Firefox it looks
like US%2DNONUS. For a value of NEW HAMPSHIRE it comes out in Firefox as
NEW+HAMPSHIRE.
Please note that these strings are not created in any special way: They are
hard-coded into the ASP, with no encoding or anything like that.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
