gaeutilities session not working in ie9

[Emlyn]

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with gaeutilities sessions; they're just not
retaining session info between calls in IE9 (fine in firefox and
chrome). I haven't diagnosed this in depth yet, just wondering whether
anyone has seen this.

Are you able to see the cookie even once?

The state is saved via a cookie that is a token the library keys off of. If you haven't changed the default settings then you should have a cookie in your browser named something like gaeutilities-session.

If IE is configured to not accept cookies from the domain you are testing, then that would likely be the problem.

Yup, sorry, I did diagnose it, gaesessions is fine.

My app lives in an iframe inside another page. That turns out to cause
the issue.

Apparently IE9 requires something called a Privacy Policy for
iframed-in pages before it'll save cookies at Medium security level
(which is the default). Excellent explanation at this URL:

Incidentally, I tried Beaker instead, and it works fine straight out
of the box, good to know, It didn't fix the problem of course, but it
was good to get it going and get a feel for that.
