Hi,

I'm using a web stack consisting of Apache 2.2.6, mod_perl 2.0.3, and
libapreq 2.10 (from their svn branch), and I'm seeing a problem where
some headers are sometimes missing from the HTTP response.

Specifically, we are setting a couple cookies from our mod_perl
application, and about half the time the cookies show up in the Apache
response, and half the time they don't.  I've tried using
Apache2::Cookie::new and Apache2::Cookie::bake to write the cookies
out, as well as doing it manually with $r->headers_out->add() and
$r->err_headers_out->add(), but the same problem exists in either
case.

Here is an example of the response headers I see when the cookies we
set come through, and when they don't come through.  I've marked the
headers that differ between the two:

With Cookies:

Cache-Control: private, no-store, no-cache, max-age=0,
must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate

Set-Cookie: FAZ=baz; path=/; domain=192.168.1.71  <-- **missing from below**

Without Cookies:

Cache-Control: private, no-store, no-cache, max-age=0,

Client-Peer: 192.168.1.71:80
Client-Response-Num: 1

Has anyone ever seen this problem before, or can point me in the right
direction?  It appears that somewhere in the web stack the headers are
sometimes just not making it all the way to the response...

Thanks!
