Cannot save session in IE6

Rails
1

A search only returned this thread:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/71970#101107

FF and IE7 both accept and store sessions as such:

— !ruby/object:CGI::Session
data: &id001
:person_id: 1
:person_name: Bob
flash: !map:ActionController::Flash::FlashHash {}

But IE6 refuses to store the session and returns this:

— !ruby/object:CGI::Session
data: &id001
flash: !map:ActionController::Flash::FlashHash {}

Can filenames or underscores cause this problem? Any suggestions?
Google hasn’t helped. Thanks!

Hi Taylor,

do you have an underscore in your domain name? I had this problem once,
that IE6 refused to store php sessions simply because I had an
underscore in my domain name.

Kind regards,

Nick

Nick,

I’m just running it off an IP address right now. Thanks for the input,
though.

This was an issue with testing IE6 from a standalone directory instead
of installing it properly. On real installations, session are saved
properly.
