This was developed a long time ago and I could be wrong, but I don't
think it ever worked.  I expect it will be cleaned up as part of the
eventual migration to FeSL's AuthN.

I'm not really familiar with pubcookie (or that code) myself, so I
can't say whether it can be leveraged for what you want it to do.  But
I'd definitely advise looking for newer, proven-working code out
there, and considering plugging it in the new way, via FeSL authN, if
you do.
