Passing Cookies with Reverse Proxy

[jzongker Profile]

I am using ISAPI_Rewrite 3 as a reverse proxy to forward requests from http://mydomain.com/ to a web app running on http://internalserver/ . Whenever I use session state on the internal app, it sets a cookie, which gets relayed to the browser successfully, but the browser never passes the cookie back. I think this is because the cookie is scoped to the domain "internalserver" instead of "mydomain.com". Is there a way to have ISAPI_REWRITE change the scope on these cookies?

One correction. The domain of the cookie doesn't appear to be the problem, it's the path. On the internal server, the app resides at http://internalserver/myapp/ on the external server the location is just http://mydomain.com/ . The cookie has a path of /myapp/ so the browser doesn't pass it back to mydomain.com since it thinks the current path is / .

That's not ISAPI_Rewrite that must deal with this. You most definitely need to set up cookies correctly on your side.
