I can have many images per page (e.g. 70) and want to serve them without the overhead of cookies.
I would prefer to set up a subdomain and add a CNAME record (as opposed to having to use a separate domain). Currently, I have a CNAME record for my donmain: www.example.com ==> example.com and I want to keep the functionality of resolving example.com to www.example.com.
I've discovered that when I access my site using www.example.com it uses different cookies from when I use example.com. Could I use .htaccess to redirect all example.com requests to www.example.com requests and solve the problem this way? Would all cookies then default to www.example.com when set?
UPDATE Then I would create the CNAME record static.example.com and point it to www.example.com. I would then point all my image requests to static.example.com. Would they be cookieless?
