I'm developing a streaming media site and one of the functions requires that
data specific to each client needs to be sent from the media server to a web
server which creates a dynamic playlist using an ASPX page. I am able to
obtain user data such as ip address and user name using %UserIP% and %UserID%
in the WSX file. However when I try to recover cookie information nothing is
returned. I have run a trace on the host page to ensure the cookies are
present. There doesn't seem to be much documentation out there, I would
really appreciate some assistance.

The basic WSX playlist is written as:

<?wsx version="1.0"?>
<smil>
<media src="httpd://web_server/playlist.aspx?%UserCookie_clientCookie%;"
/>
</smil>

where clientCookie is the name of a valid client cookie.

Thanks for the help.


Andrew
