Description:
------------
Recent changes in cookie handling breaks backward compatibility.

The netscape cookie specification says about commas in Set-Cookie
header:

If there is a need to place such data in the name or value, some
encoding method such as URL style %XX encoding is recommended, though
no encoding is defined or required.

Read RECOMMENDED, BUT NOT REQUIRED.

Additionally this limitation only covers name=value in Set-Cookie and
not Cookie name=opaque_strings.

PHP's Set-Cookie does not allow sending plain commas as Cookie, but
that does not change the fact, that anyone can set a Cookie via Java
Script with a plain comma in it or use another script language that
runs on the same server and is part of the application. Browsers
happily send them in plain back.

Lots of sites, especially those with FALK.ag ad banners have plain
commas in there cookies. It is not longer possible for PHP script on
those servers to handle these cookies.
