[cups] Web Interface not working correctly in IE 8

[Conklin,Paul W.]

One other update, I tried setting the ServerAlias to the dotted name to see if that was the cause.

The issues seems to be if how you access the WI does not match the hostname of the box, the cookie seems to get "lost".  This is not a problem on Linux, just AIX and HPUX.  This also doesn't seem to effect Firefox or Chrome

Subject: [cups] Web Interface not working correctly in IE 8

Running on both AIX and HPUX, originally done with 1.4.8, but able to reproduce in 1.6.4 as well.  What's odd is I have 1 AIX box that *does* work as is with IE.  Firefox and Chrome work on all boxes.  I found the following

D [16/Jan/2014:19:33:12 +0500] [CGI] admin.cgi started...
D [16/Jan/2014:19:33:12 +0500] cupsdAcceptClient: 10 from localhost (Domain) D [16/Jan/2014:19:33:12 +0500] [CGI] http=30045748 D [16/Jan/2014:19:33:12 +0500] [CGI] org.cups.sid cookie not found, initializing! <-- This was using IE D [16/Jan/2014:19:33:12 +0500] [CGI] org.cups.sid cookie is "65d340a036d6b4509035f3a9c5c1068d"

D [16/Jan/2014:19:33:12 +0500] [CGI] No form data, showing main menu... <-- since no cookie, it just started over

https://cups.org/pipermail/cups/2012-May/024692.html  <-- once I found the org.cups.sid cookie issue a quick google search yielded this, which works.

So I know it has something to do with cookies, but there must be some external factor dictating if they work with IE since I have another box running AIX (same AIX, cups, and openssl version) that does work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
