Got cookies? (in your logs)

I recently noticed a large of odd messages in my coldfusion-event.log. They all looked something like so:

06/26 14:47:27 error Cannot create cookie: domain = .riaforge.org

This error was not on the RIAForge box but my own personal server (this machine). I asked about this on a listserv and got a lot of good responses, but it seems like the final answer is this:

Reserved Names for Cookies

I'm sharing this in case others run into it as well. When I say "large", I mean quite a bit. In fact it seemed to be the primary content of the entire log.

Please post comments on Jochem's blog though. I've already posted a followup question there myself.

Hey Ray. Just wanted to drop a line about the cookie errors in the logs. The option that worked for us was to set the setclientcookies to false in the cfapplication tag. We were already on j2ee sessions and it was an easy change for us to make. We no longer see the cookie errors in our logs. So if that is a viable option for you, its a decent work around. Jochem hit it on the head though.
