Please, you where the one that posted this snippet of code in the first
place:

$r->headers_out->add('Set-Cookie' => 'mycookie=' .
$r->param('myparam'));

I do support fixing security issues, and to all fairness you should have
brought this to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s attention.

I've given my two cents and so have you, you said you posted a patch to
dev@httpd that fixes it in the right place and I applaud that.
