well, these are the changes for cookies - if you can describe the problem
better, I can try testing to see if/what I broke something.
* modify cookie path prefix-comparison to ignore a trailing slash, e.g.,
/group/sftvnews/ versus /group/sftvnews (workaround for LV visiting
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sftvnews) -TD
* cookie path= should be a prefix of the request-URI path, so do not truncate
request-URI path in LYSetCookie() [we got mistaken "invalid cookie path=..."
prompt in some cases previously] -LP
* move logic for cookie_domain_flag_set() out of LYReadCFG.c into LYCookie.c
rewriting it to make it table-driven, where it is now shared with LYrcFile.c
-TD
