Is it legal for cookies to contain the '+' character?
It looks like $Request-Cookie will strip '+' characters out of
cookies and replace them with spaces. This has caused problems in my
Apache::ASP application that reads cookies containing '+' signs set by
another application.
Gah, I just got the daily LogWatch e-mail for that server, and it's
apparent why.
I wonder if the disk is bad. I just had it replaced last month!
