Cookies cann't be saved in rails3?

#5828

I put this code in my controller's action

cookies[:name] = {
    :value   => "test" ,
     :expires => 2.hours.from_now
    }

and i found out that the cookies cann't be saved. My browser is IE8 on win7, rails version is 3.0.1。
I test this with rails 2.3.9, and cookies can be saved.
By the way, i found out that in rails 2.3.9 if without passing the :expires key, the cookies cann't be saved yet.
Is there any information about how to set cookies? I googled for a couples of hours, and have no idea now.
Thanks for your help

I have tested this issue under several environments
1. Windows7 rails3 IE8, cookies can be saved: No
2. Windows7 rails 2.3.9, cookies can be saved: Yes

3.WindowsXP rails3 IE6, cookies can be saved: No
4.WindowsXP rails 2.3.9, cookies can be saved: Yes

5.Ubuntu 10.04 rails3 Firefox on Ubuntu && IE8 on Windows7, cookies can be saved: Yes
6.Ubuntu 10.04 rails2.3.9 Firefox on Ubuntu && IE8 on Windows7, cookies can be saved: Yes

After several testings, i can make a conclusion now.
When rails3 app is deployed on *nix system the cookies can be saved with IE or Firefox
When rails3 app is deployed on Windows the cookies cann't be saved with IE or Firefox

It seems rails3 app deployed on Windows doesn't send cookies to the browsers client
in the mean while rails 2.3.9 app deployed on Windwos does.
I think it's a bug of rails3 on Windows.
This issue has bothered me for a whole day, and really made me a headache...
