[RezoX builds dynamic streaming channels] WATCH YOUR COOKIE DOMAINS. I wasted 7 hours due to this problem: I set a cookie in the path scripts.something.com. Then I tried to clear the cookie by reseting .something.com to 'invalid'. In IE, if a subdomain cookie is set, it takes precedence over the domain cookie (ie if the cookie testcookie in the scripts.something.com was set, it would override the cookie testcookie for the domain .something.com )! I had to manually clear the cookies from the cache to realize this problem.
