What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  driver.manage().addCookie(testCookie); does not work in IE driver.

The cookie should be set in the IE. But It does not.

It works like a charm for firefox and chrome. Attached sample code for the test.

The IE Driver has been rewritten, can you please retest this?

I m migrating my Selenium1.0 tests with Selenium 2.0. Tests are working fine with 1.0
JAR. But when i use Selenium 2.0, actually setCookie() method is not working and because
of that my tests are failing. Please let me know what to do for this.

FYI -- I'm able to set cookies on Selenium v2.5.0 by disabling all Protected modes (and
using the standard IE browser security defaults).

Hello Roger, 
you are just able to set cookies for IE runnig on Vista or higher. 
IE 7 or 8 running on XP does not have the "Protected mode" option just standard IE
browser security zones. And this is definitively not working.

Can you please look at that guys? Thank you.

I've run into the same problem with some, but not all cookies that I set in IE7/8. 
Tested using Sauce Labs, IE7/8 and Windows XP.  The same code works as expected in
IE9, Chrome, and Firefox 7.
