  • + Why does Apache send a cookie on every response? +

    + Apache does not send automatically send a cookie on every + response, unless you have re-compiled it with the + mod_cookies[22] module. + This module was distributed with Apache prior to 1.2. + This module may help track users, and uses cookies to do this. If + you are not using the data generated by mod_cookies, do not compile + it into Apache. Note that in 1.2 this module was renamed to the + more correct name + mod_usertrack[23], and cookies + have to be specifically enabled with the + CookieTracking[24] + directive. +

  • + Why don't my cookies work, I even compiled in mod_cookies? + +

    + Firstly, you do not need to compile in mod_cookies in order + for your scripts to work (see this question + for more about mod_cookies). Apache passes on your Set-Cookie header + fine, with or without this module. If cookies do not work it will + be because your script does not work properly or your browser does + not use cookies or is not set-up to accept them. +
