Please read this message from a couple of weeks ago -- it may suggest the
answer to your problem -- a fix to Cookie.py:
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/3854/2001/8/0/6436525/
Note that Cookie.py is a standard Python module as of Python 2.0, and I
believe that Webware attempts to use the standard module if it's
available. You may have to patch the Cookie.py inside your Python
installation.
I'm a bit confused though -- there appears to be a copy of the standard
Cookie module in WebKit/zCookieEngine.py and also in
WebUtils/Cookie.py. They are identical. We should get rid of one of
them. Then, since Python's Cookie.py has bugs, we should just _always_ use
the Cookie.py in Webware instead of trying to use Python's Cookie.py, at
least until a version of Python comes out with a fixed version of Cookie.py.
If this sounds like the right plan, I'll go ahead and make the changes.
