Re: Perl Authentication Handler and Cookie Issue

[Sumit Shah <suppressed>]

Hello,

I have modified my code to handle such scenarios. But the handler still 
fails to fetch the cookies. The browser does pass the cookies. I can see 
them in IEHTTPHeaders. I would appreciate if someone could let me know 
why this could happen?

Thanks
Sumit
