Cookies in Local Host

The cookie specs require two names and a dot between, so your cookiedomain cannot be "localhost". Here's how I solved it:

1. Add this to your %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file: 127.0.0.1 dev.livesite.com
2. When developing you use http://dev.livesite.com instead of http://localhost
3. Use ".livesite.com" as cookiedomain (with a dot in the beginning) when creating the cookie.
4. Now it works on all sites:
• http://dev.livesite.com
• http://www.livesite.com
• http://livesite.com
