Cookies and ways to read them

Question

Suppose I created a cookie with one year expiration in domain abc.com and now

• I am accessing any page from this domain will the cookie be attached automatically to the Request object.
• I have a webservice in the same domain abc.com. Will the web service be able to access the cookie whenever a call is being made from abc.com or from xyz.com
• Suppose I have an updatepanel and I click a button inside it, will I be able to access the cookie the async method.
• From xyz.com can I asynchronously check the presence of this cookie with the help to HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classes in asp.net. (Because I feel this is also actually sending a request from the browser)
• How actually will the CookieContainer help me in reading cookies from one domain to another domain ?

Thanks,

M

Answer 1

Assuming the requests come from a browser, you will get any cookies that your domain is allowed to have. As far as cookie-sharing, take a look at this article.
