Is this a bug?  I am trying to write a cookie that can be accessed by
various .Net applications on our domain.  However, whenever I add the
domain property to the cookie, no errors get thrown but the cookie
doesn't get written.  I am trying this from my localhost using
vs2003, .net framework 1.1, windows xp prof.  Sample code I am testing
with is below.

Public Class WebForm1
   Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

   Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
           ' Get cookie from current request.
           Dim cookie As HttpCookie
           cookie = Request.Cookies.Get("DateCookieExample")

           ' Check if cookie exists in the current request
           If (cookie Is Nothing) Then
               ' Create cookie.
               cookie = New HttpCookie("DateCookieExample")

               ' Set value of cookie to current date time.
               cookie.Value = "This is the cookie value"

               ' Set Domain for the cookie (limits scope of the
cookie)
               cookie.Domain = ".CTDOL.STATE.CT.US"
'******* If the above line is active the cookie does NOT get written
out
'******* If the above line is commented out the cookie gets written
'******* What am I doing wrong???  It seemed simple.

               ' Set cookie to expire in 1 minutes.
               cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1).ToString

               ' Insert the cookie in the current HttpResponse.
               Response.Cookies.Add(cookie)

               Response.Write("Cookie Created")
           Else
               Response.Write("Cookie retrieved from client")
           End If
   End Sub
