My requirement is pretty interesting, I want to maintain one cookie between two different browser for same domain.
so lets say I have create one cookie with name "mydata" and value "hiscal" from IE, then if i browse same website from firefox and trying to read cookie "mydata" then system should give me value "hiscal"
but this is not happen in general case
so can any one tell me how i can share cookie between to different browser(client) of same domain.
Thanks, Hiscal
You can build a cookie-proxy by creating a Flash application and use Shared Objects (SO = Flash cookies) to store data.
Any Browsers with Flash installed could retrieve the informations stored in the SO.
But, it s an ugly workaround.
Just don t share cookies... and find another way to build your website/app.
Every browser maintains it s own cookies. So in general, no this is not possible.
With a lot of hard work you could in theory write an application that sits on the client computer that looks at all the locations the different browsers store cookies, parses the different cookie formats, synchronises them and then writes them out.
That would be error prone and will break as soon as a browser changes how it works with cookies (not to mention that some of the browsers secure their cookies, so you won t be able to get to them in the first place).
In my opinion, this is not practical and I wouldn t even try.
Use YUI s storage utility and force it to use the SWF storage engine.
All computers and browsers would still have to have Flash installed, but you wouldn t have to write your own Flash app. You would benefit from using the one maintained by the YUI team.
As others have said, this is not very portable, but in a controlled environment, it might work for you.
Cookies can be shared with other data storage, through browser extensions. Maybe in Flash or Google Gears you can maintain shared DB between browsers, but it needs to be installed on both of them, of course.
Edit:
In Google Gears you can t. Maybe you should write self-made extension... or some user-login system, where the data will sit on the server.
Self-Explanatory. In PHP, the solution would be to set the cookie expiration to 0; I m unsure about C# since it requires a DateTime value.
