jquery ajax call not sending cookie

I have a jQuery ajax call across a subdomain that works correctly except it's not sending the cookie. Is there any way to accomplish this?

This sounds like expected behavior to me. Cookies are per domain (and that includes subdomains). But I think you can force it with something like this:

$.ajax({
   headers: {'Cookie' : document.cookie },
   url: "sub.domain.com",
   success: function(){ ...

This is totally untested so let me know if it works ;)

EDIT: There is an alternative solution available using:

xhrFields: {
    withCredentials: true
}

Check here: How do I SET a Cookie (header) with XMLHttpRequest in JavaScript?.

Also, you can set the cookies in PHP so that they are valid across all your subdomains. Something like this:

ini_set('session.cookie_domain', '.example.com')

Note the '.' before the domain - that will set the cookie for example.com and all its subdomains.

You can set session.cookie_domain in your app using the above or set it in your php.ini.

The above is stolen from here.

Shouldn't this work if you use a CORS capable browser and set the withCredentials attribute?
