If my browser does not support cookies , and my server sends a cookie instance,what will happen? Regards, Dinesh. [ September 04, 2002: Message edited by: Dinesh Ramaswamy ]
It's ignored. The cookie simply gets discarded. Unless you have a browser that alerts you when you have cookies disabled. Then it might ask for permission to save the cookie anyway.
Customer surveys are for companies who didn't pay proper attention to begin with.
good server like tomcat will detect if a cookie would get rejected and rewrite all the urls - hence why keeping info in sessin is better from that point of view - alternatively if youare creating a very high volume site it may help you to send cookies instead and require people to accept cookies. If it is an important enough app it wont matter - i cant think of many browsers that dont support cookies nowadays, although I am sure some mainframe programmers will correct me in a second saying they still use telnet.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
