cookie question

[sdlangers]

hi,

 

im trying to create a type of landing page where i can set a cookie and redirect to another page.. here is the code for the page load:

 

 Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
       ' set cookie
       Response.Cookies("salesid").Value = Request("salesid")
       ' redirect
       Response.Redirect(Request("redirect"))
   End Sub

 

looks simple enough, but it doesnt work - the redirect seems to cause problems with writing the cookie.

 

is this some sort of security restriction? if so, any ideas for a workaround?

 

thanks for the help
