cross domain cookie

My rails server runs on localhost. I want to set a cookie for the domain ".myapp.com". How do I do this?

(i tried cookies['xyz] = {:value => 'abc' ,:domain => '.myapp.com'} . It doesnt work. No cookie is being set when i specify domain like that.

thanks in advance.

You can only set the domain to a parent of the website serving the request (so if the browser accesses the website as foo.bar.com then you can set a cookie for foo.bar.com or bar.com). Apart from that I've set cookies in exactly the way you show.
