Overwriting a cookie

[TonyGroves]

I'm trying to write a HTTP header which will cause a specific cookie to be written, overwriting any of the same domain and name that already exists. I have:[tt]
Set-Cookie: login=userassword; path=/; domain=.domain.com
[/tt]
but that does not overwrite a cookie that already exists.

Can anybody help please?

Thanks a lot.

Tony.

You can only set/get a cookie for the current domain you are on. You can't access a cookie for a domain that isn't the current one.

I know that. What I want to do is to overwrite a cookie that I might have set previously.

a thought: are you sure that your webserver or other server application (php/asp etc) is not sending another setcookie type statement after the one that you have sent in the above header?
