lynx-dev LYCookie.c handles path (w/o trailing slash) incorrectly

[John Hascall]

While this works as expected:

    lynx http://some.web.host/cgi-bin/somecgi/

if, for example, we do:

    lynx http://some.web.host/cgi-bin/somecgi

and somecgi sends a cookie back containing:

    path=/cgi-bin/somecgi

then lynx[1] complains:

    Accept invalid cookie path=/cgi-bin/somecgi as a prefix of '/cgi-bin'?

because it is finding that last slash and whacking off everything after it.
It appears that the solution is to change line 1845 of LYCookie.c
from:
       } else {
to:
       } else if (*(ptr+1) == '\0') {        /* only zap a trailing slash */



Thanks,
John
