This
was an IIS BUG !!!!!
Developers of squirrelmail, pay
attention:
There
is a bug in IIS that doesn't set cookies when a redirection is done through cgi
(php as thus).
(Read
below for Micro$oft and php comments on this)
Solution is as follows:
Change
in "redirect.php" the line which says:
***************************************
header("Location: $redirect_url");
***************************************
with
******************************************************************************
echo
"<html><head>";
echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='0; url=""'>";
echo "</head><body></body></html>";
echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='0; url=""'>";
echo "</head><body></body></html>";
******************************************************************************
If
anyone knows whether this should be posted in some bug or mod or whatever on the
net, please do so. It's important that anyone can be informed by
this.

If you experience problems on Microsoft Information Server (IIS) when setting a cookie via PHP and
when
PHP is running as a CGI binary it is not setting the cookie. After spending many
hours on what
the
problem is here is what happens:
When
you invoke setcookie and redirect to another page you will not have your cookie
set, because
it
seems that IIS doesn't set the cookie unless you actually send some contents to
the browser.
Therefore if you want to set a cookie and then redirect
to another page you will have to do the
redirection via _javascript_ and/or HTML if you want your
script to work on IIS.
Microsoft::
When a
CGI application sends a Set-Cookie header with "302 Object Moved" response and
Location
header, Internet Information Server (IIS) ignores the
cookie header.

Subject: [SM-USERS] LOGIN problem, $key not retained in cookieWhen I set debug to true, I get:******************************Bad request: LOGIN invalid command argument
Read data:
*************************************************Also, when doing an echo $key in webmail.php, I get an empty string, while echo $key in redirect.php gives me a couple of charachters (which correctly translates to the encrypted password).How come this variable is not retained ? Probably cookie, but my settings of IE allow ALL cookies.. Why aren't they created ? ANd they aren't because I checked in my cookie directory.... Hmmm....Is this because of the IP-address URL ? Surely not ?DOes anyone has any idea ? Thanksurl ="" 192.168.1.210/webmail (= INTERNAL LAN address)I use Lotus Domino IMAP serverWebserver IIS
