Dear All,
I have my forum running in an IFrame on my site which is itself running inside a Frame automatically generated by my Web Redirection service, (see code below). My site is running on Brinkster, and I have applied the modifications provided, to the Snitz source code in order for the Brinkster ASP scanner to accept them.
If I go directly to my site by using the full Brinkster URL, (ie. no redirection) everything works fine.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Keith Willis.

The problem is that the URL for the cookies is set to that of the forum, but the URL the cookie is checked against is that of the frame. I believe one of the solutions to keep the frame and still be able to use the cookies was to add a second domain for the cookies to use.
The other solution is to get rid of the frames... |

| Then why does it work inside my IFrame? As far as I can tell there is only a problem when I access via the redirection and a new overall frame is wrapped around my site. |

| why don't you give a link to your site? I'd be able to see which URLs are used for the frame and iframe. Right now I'm shooting in the dark (so to speak) |

| Also if I set my Cookie to Forum and not Website shouldn't this solve the problem? (it doesn't). |

Just found a long discussion thread on this very same issue.
TOPIC_ID=25303
As far as I can tell it was never fully resolved but there was a working hack proposed. |

Is the page with the iframe on the same site as your forums? If so, there's your answer to why your forums are working inside the iframe.
As I said, frames are known to mess up the forums' login and logout functions (among other cookie-based functions). |

| Well, then that's where your problem lies. The forum looks for a cookie that it can't find because of the frameset that masks the URL. You'll have to jump out of the frameset to get the forums' cookie-based functions to work correctly. |

I have the link to the forums set to www28.brinkster.com/netsoftds/forums/default.asp
but this is done programmatically, ie. I set the IFrame's src attribute to that URL...
document.getElementById('id_bodyFrame').src = 'http://www28.brinkster.com/netsoftds/Forums/Default.asp';
Does this mean that I should change the main page's location to www28.brinkster.com/netsoftds? This would effectively remove the cloaking. Is there anyway to retain the cloaking and still get my cookies to work? Perhaps a hard-coded modification in the Snitz code? |

| I haven't heard of a solution for the problems that frames give except jumping out of the frame and thereby, as you said, removing the cloaking. |
