I may have to retract that, based on this from line 607 of LYCookie.c:

                /*
                 *  Check if we should fold the header. - FM
                 */
                if (len > 800) {
                    StrAllocCat(header, crlftab);
                    len = 0;
                }

(This is from the code to send cookies to the server.)

Looks like it is indeed legit to fold the header like that. I wonder if
your problem could be more due to the fact that Lynx is reversing the
order, thus sending the login/pw cookie after all of the other cookies, so
the server parses them in incorrect order.


OtherCookieStuff:

Maximum number of cookies is hardcoded at 50. Do we want to make this user
configurable before 2.8.1? I'd say yes.
