Cookies & IP addresses

[Anon]

Hi,

I am trying to set a cookie on a development site that is only available through an IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx instead of www.whatever.com).

I know cookies take the domain (name) as a parameter, but without a name being mapped I can't get the cookie to work.

Does anyone know how to set a cookie with an IP address only? Is this even possible? Any help is greatly appreciated...

I dont see a reason why you must use the IP? Why just not use the hostname?

example. internal ip behind a firewall (linksys router for example)

192.168.1.2
192.168.1.3
192.168.1.4

the linksys doesnt have a name server, if they dont own a nameserver then the 192 address will not reverse resolve to anything even if they have a hostname. because the nameserve doesnt know the answer, it wont give one 🙂

now what I would do in this case is set up a simple named server on the devel box. only thing you can do I think. add the entries for all you 192 block.
