lynx-dev Cookie accepting behaviour in lynx 2.8rel2 (SCO Skunkware 2000 version)

[C. Jason Bruner]

Greetings,

I'm stumped and haven't seen this discussed in any of the other help
resources, so I apologize in advance if this has already been covered.

I've got a web page regrettably running under IIS 5.0 that makes requires
use of asp session variables, and hence cookies.

When opening up the web page as in "www.home.com/test" and answering "Y" to
the "Allow cookie" prompt, my application works fine and state is kept while
browsing the site.  However, I can't get lynx to do the same by using the
"-cookies" command line parameter.

I was using, at one point, "-cookiesA", and although I don't get "Allow
cookie" prompt, my web site doesn't seem to think that cookies are being
supported and loses state.  I've tried "-cookiesY", "cookies=Y", and just
about every combination thereof, but can't seem to figure it out.

I'm also using SET_COOKIES:TRUE in lynx.cfg.  What am I doing wrong?!?!

TIA,
C. Jason Bruner
