ASP.Net: Working around Flash Cookie Bug AKA restoring the session | SWFUpload

/ Published in: ASP

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

Global.asax:
<script RunAt="server" Language="C#">
 
	/* Fix for the Flash Player Cookie bug in Non-IE browsers.
* Since Flash Player always sends the IE cookies even in FireFox
* we have to bypass the cookies by sending the values as part of the POST or GET
* and overwrite the cookies with the passed in values.
*
* The theory is that at this point (BeginRequest) the cookies have not been ready by
* the Session and Authentication logic and if we update the cookies here we'll get our
* Session and Authentication restored correctly
