When this variable is present, the PATH
component of a returned Set-Cookie
MIME header is set to its value. Normally, the value of MHTML::RELATIVE-PREFIX
is used.
If you need to use MHTML::SID-PREFIX
, you probably have a very complex directory structure, and the need for every page access to have a cookie associated with it. In this case, setting MHTML::SID-PREFIX
will have the effect of flattening your directory structure in the browser's view.
Generally, correctly written Meta-HTML applications do not need to use this variable, and it might be used in only the most complicated of Web sites, with multiple sessions per connectee, etc.
