Cookie not set on multilanguage site

I've got a multilanguage site. German and Dutch. For the Dutch website adding products to our cart works fine. Cookies are set in all browsers etc..
The German site shows strange behavior, adding products to our shoppingcarts works fine, except in IE9. No cookies seems to be set, so no products can be added to the shoppingcart. Anyone ran into this before?

Do you have a URL for us to look at?

That URL doesn't work for me. But I sent you a message off-line with a screenshot of the site using one of its other URLs where I can successfully add something to the basket.

Cheers,

Imar

Hi Imar,

I've seen your message and will also reply to that one. Your tip solved the issue on our side. Problem was indeed caused by the underscore in the url.

Thanks a lot for you good assistance!
Cheers,
Rob

When you use an underscore in the domain name IE9 won't accept any cookies.

Kind regards,

@Jurgen - that is probably not IE9 specific, as only valid URL characters are

  0...9
   a...z
   A...Z
   .
   - (hyphen, not underscore)

Hi Morten,
You are right, an underscore isn't allowed according to the domain RFC's.
But Chrome, Firefox and IE below 9 happen to be not so restrictive. That is why it took a while before we found out... ;-)
