internet explorer 8 - Django login cookies for Subdomains with underscores broken in IE8? -


In my Django login I always want to re-login the login user url for its username. So if the user name is "joe" then I rewrite the url to be "joe.example.com". It works very well with the underscores such as "Geoscosmo", except IE8 for user names like IE8 users will not login to the URL like: "joe_schmoe.example.com". In my settings file, I have a watchard subdomain, for example turned on.

Is it a bug in IE8 or django? How do I work around this except for removing all the underscores from user names?

This is an IE problem IBM Lotus is in Sametime:

Error in Internet Explorer "cookies are not enabled" if the underscores in hostname

This error message is displayed when Microsoft Patch MS01-055 (or a service pack that also pays this Is included) with Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 or later. When Internet Explorer updates, then it conforms to Request for Records (RFC) 952, which defines and restricts hosts and domain naming conventions. This compliance session is to avoid some security vulnerabilities with cookies [...]

You read more on the above support page (including Microsoft's Knowledge Base article and RFC 952 reference) You can.
