These cookie issues came up earlier so I searched through my mailbox and 
re-read the old thread. (Anyone notice that Geocrawler does a _really_ bad 
job at searches? (and therefore maybe archiving.))

What I gleaned was that:

- expires is the old Netscape standard, still supported by most, if not 
all, browsers
- max-age is the "new" RFC 2109 standard. Support level unknown (to me).
- Jakarta (Java servlets) seems to use expires for cookie version 0 and 
max-age for anything else. I'm not sure what the default cookie version is 
in Jakarta.
- My preference is to preset setMaxAge() to cookie users and "do the right 
thing" internally.

I will forward the 2 most interesting messages from the thread to the list.
