[SM-DEVEL] Odd apache/cookie interaction

[Todd L. <to...@mr...>]

I experienced an odd cookie situation today.  Running Apache 1.3.19 and
php 4.0.6, I was changing a user password with the change_ldap_pass
plugin.  For some reason, it kept telling me that I had entered the
wrong password.  Debugging, we found that the $key cookie was coming
back from the browser as blank.  We fought it for a while (4 different
browsers including IE), then restarted apache.  Started working
normally.

Moral: don't be too quick to blame the code.  I was
inserting/deleting/commenting code and getting nowhere until we started
thinking it through.
