I fear that your work around might run into the same trouble with the paths if you are setting the login state to not-logged-in from the same context in which you are trying to expire you current cookie. You might try using: PythonOption ApplicationPath / or for mod_python version 3.3: mod_python.session.application_path / in your Apache config. In my experience it keeps cookies from my site at the root level without any path information. --Eric Matt Barnicle wrote: > well now i've ditched my current effort and decided to take a different > tact and added another cookie var to maintain login state rather than > trying to expire user_name. i just couldn't spend any more time on this > thing right now i've got a lot of pressing things to take care of... in > my code updates i noticed the 'path' attribute.. when i sign out, the > sign out link is /user/signout, and it looks like it was adding those > cookie vars to the '/user' path, which i didn't understand at all > previously.. *sigh* so i think that is the real problem here. i didn't > investigate it bc like i said i had to move on and come up with another > solution.. thanks so much for your attention and help.. > > - m@ > >> What Cookie header gets sent by the browser on the request after you >> have tried to expire it.
