Hi all!

I'm trying to determine if multiple 'Cookie:' headers are allowed in a
request.  I see precious little on the topic, a thread from 2002 here
http://tinyurl.com/rdcfd [goes to groups.google.com], and ambiguity
from the RFCs.

The defacto standard appears to be all cookies conveyed in a single
'Cookie:' header, separated by semi-colons.  The argument against
multiple Cookie: headers appears to be based upon the syntax for
cookies in a single header, in that a MIME specification allows for
multiple headers of the same name if and only if the values can be
condensed into a semantically equivalent _comma_ delimited list (not
semicolon, as in the case of Cookie

Any pointers would be helpful.  I'm trying to sort out some
incompatibility between two products that have different
interpretations of the truth.

Thanks!

Bob
