IE8 appears to be handling cookies slightly differently than its predecessors (as well as every other browser out there). With just about every HTTP request, I'm sending two Set-cookie headers--one for the general session, and one for an authentication key. The purpose of these is to change key values and/or update expiration times--but IE8 appears to be refusing the Set-cookie header on subsequent requests.

The site is svidgen.com (http://svidgen.com). If you'd like to help me out, you may sign in as demo using password demopass and take a look at my HTTP headers. (and of course you're free to create an account if you really want to :) )

The general session cookie is svession, and the authkey is atoken.

Any help or information regarding IE8 cookie-handling changes is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
