[OpenSTA-users] Problems recording Cookies

[Daniel S. <da...@Op...>]

Recently I got to delve deeply into the workings of the current
OpenSTA Gateway's mechanism of Cookie recording and the Modelers
creating SCL code from this to dynamically handle Cookies.

It has always been known that there are some 'issues' in this area
but no-one has really spent the time to thoroughly investigate this
and work out what they were ... until now.

The more astute of you may have noticed I've logged a whole bunch of
bugs recently related to this very subject.  I've also updated the
entry in the FAQ:
  http://portal.opensta.org/faq.php?topic=RecordingCookies

I'm not exactly impressed with the way Cookies are currently recorded
or the SCL code that is created - IMHO it all needs re-implementing -
saying that, it does seem to work 95% of the time. :shrug:

Rather than write an epic about all the problems and idiosyncrasies
that I found I'd like to invite those that are interested to read the
above FAQ entry and its linked bug reports and fire any questions you
have at me now while it is still fresh in my mind. :)

Huge thanks go to Bernie @ Performax for sponsoring much of this
investigation and providing feedback and testing to support my
theories.
Cheers
