Movie Posters - Can you do this?

Here is a movie poster for Lord of the Rings:

Well that wasn't very funny, but at least you bumped my thread

From what I know, a cookie set by domain A can NOT be read by domain B. Not even different subdomains on the same domain. Won't work.

Ah well...and here I was on the same wavelength as Mr. Fiction. That's the first thing that popped into my mind...an actual; poster from a movie. He got a chuckle outta me.

They can if you properly set the cookie domain value. If set to '.domain.com', it will allow all subdomains, if set to 'domain.com', it will only allow that domain, and if set to 'blah.domain.com', it will only allow that subdomain.

When you set a cookie, you tell the cookie which domains to send itself to. Unless you are operating scripts on both servers, there's really no way for you to do what I think you are talking about.

This is the javascript I'm using to set the cookie (without the opening and closing javascript tags)

// Calculate the expiration date
var expires = new Date ();
expires.setTime(expires.getTime() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

document.cookie = "id=valid; path=/" + "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString();

and this is what's in the htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([a-z0-9-]+\.)*mydomain.COM(:80)*/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mydomain.com(:80)*/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mydomain.com(:80)*/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !(^|(.+;)*)id=valid(;.*|$)
RewriteRule /* http://www.redirecturl.COM [R,L]

It works when I put the movies in a subfolder of the directory the html page is in, but it fucks up when I have the movies on another server.

you can't have domainB read domainA's cookie.

Your question is funny in a way. You say you use hotlink protection, and then you think it's weird that you get an error in WMP when you hotlink the movies?

I couldve sworn this thread was about "motion picture posters" as well.
