SQLServerCentrals Shabby State Managment

  • I receive the SQLServerCentral newsletter and select one of the linked articles references that loads the SQLServerCentral site in the browser. The article is not displayed and I am required to login. Once I login, the page that is displayed after authentication does not load the article I attempted to load from the newsletter.

    Even script kiddies know how to maintain state across a login. SQLServerCentral state management is shabby and annoying. What's your problem?

  • I don't have this problem

    Is my browser being asked to access a datasource

    across a domain?

  • No. First test is to just visit the site, login, close the browser without logging out. Go back to the site. If you're asked to login, the cookie is not persisting.
