Cookie set on HTTPs seen on HTTP?

[4rxsid]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set a cookie on a https url, then meta refresh to a http url and have that cookie work on the http pages...but it's not working. here's what i've got:

$cookieDuration = time() + 3600;
$whichPath = "/";
$whichDomain = ".somesite.com";
setcookie ("const", "var",$cookieDuration,$whichPath,$whichDomain);

if i set the last parm to 1, then the cookie is only "usable" on a secure path....right?

I'm not sure if it's usuable on the HTTPS only, but I know it will only be set if there is an HTTPS connection. If you set a cookie as secure over HTTP, it will not set.
