I have been dealing with this one for four years and I am still waiting... 8-)
As far as I can tell, the problem is the splitting of the domains.
There are situations with proxy servers, cookies, and such that cannot
be dealt with to my knowledge.
The best I have been able to come up with is:
1. Use "WideOpen Yes" (catalog.cfg) to ignore the host-qualification
Accompany this with "SessionExpire 20 minutes" to make security
better.
2. Use GET method on the basket form for transitioning to
checkout.
3. Use the "Mall Yes" (minivend.cfg) directive to cover the case
where people get cookies from more than one store on your servers.
What really solves it is getting an SSL cert and keeping everything
in the same domain. I strongly recommend this to my clients, telling
them they will easily eat up the cost in consulting time and lost
business. Trying to save $125 by not buying a cert is a very false
economy.
Regards,
Mike
