Hi all,

When running pound from the the current Debian/Ubuntu package (2.4.3), i get
errors when cookie data exceeds a certain length. The issue isn't present in
version 2.4.4, which i hand-compiled. Is this a known bug in older versions? I
couldn't find anything about it in the changelog.

To test the issue, i did something like
'wget --load-cookies cookie.txt http://127.0.0.1:8081'
where Pound was running at port 8081, of course.
The file cookies.txt looked like this:
127.0.0.1       FALSE   /       FALSE   0       c_id_test       {data}
Note that this should be tab-separated.

The server behind pound (in my case, a Zope/Plone site) would print the cookies
it gets on a terminal or in the log.

Whenever {data} exceeds a certain length (tried with a 1000-character string),
the server doesn't see any cookies. This also happens if there are several
shorter cookies whose combined lengths exceeds a value of roughly 500 
characters.

The cookies are not removed on the client, only on the web server side of pound.

Regards,

Kees
