lynx-dev Invalid cookies?

[Walter Ian Kaye]

What makes a cookie invalid? How can this be fixed/prevented?
(And what difference does it make if it's "invalid" anyway?)

thanks,
-Walter

Hmm... Hi. I'm glad you're participating... I never met those cookie 
errors, and believe me, they 'are' valid. :) So it must have 
something to do with the cookie management in your client, I guess.

What browser are you using? Do you get the same results in another 
one? Can you trash the cookies for mac.fryke.com in your browser?

Hope this helps...

Patrick
