title: how are cookies retrieved from itms links stored?
body: <p>I have an app where we are using wireless distribution to install for our beta users. the install/upgrade links use the form: <code>itms-services://?action=download-manifest&amp;url=</code></p>
  
  <p>the apache server we're hosting the app at is protected via a cookie based authentication mechanism. our basic problem is that although our authentication mechanism is issuing a delete for the cookie in question, it seems that itms (or possibly safari) on the device is not respecting this delete, because subsequent requests contain the <em>original cookie</em>. weird.</p>
  
  <p>my question is, what is actually persisting cookies for itms links opened from safari? safari itself? or itms on the device?</p>
  
  <p>I can't find any documentation on this so any help is much appreciated.</p>
