note 51195 deleted from function.setcookie by danbrown

Note Submitter: jonathan at jonathanopie dot com ---- I've found that when using header("Location: <destination page>") type 302 redirect, that cookie information in the header will be silently dropped if the <destination page> path includes any non-alphanumeric (except the allowed "-" and ".") characters. That had been pointed out above, and is documented with Microsoft as by design... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;316112 ...but what is not made clear, is that the rule seems to include file and directory names too! Also, I've had unpredictable results when the <destination page> filename begins with ANY character other than strictly alphanumeric characters, even the otherwise allowed "-" and "." characters; and/or if the <destination page> is in a different directory.
