Hi,

Regarding the "invalid cookie paths":

>From the trace file, I have the following request-uri:
GET /search?ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=fr&source=hp&q=tintin&btnG=Recherche+Google&gbv=1 
HTTP/1.1

In server response, I have 2 cookies with an "invalid path attribute":
/complete/search
/search

Lynx code seems to perform some prefix validation on the paths regarding the
request uri, but it seems there is no such thing as path validation in the RFC:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265

Namely, /complete/search and /search path attributes should not block lynx
acceptance of those cookies.

regards,
