I'd like to expand this question (sorry for the cut&paste, I just joined
this list to get this answer :-)
If this is the case, how can you create a persistent cookie on the client?
I would like to use it just to identify the user, not authorize her.
Thanks in advance --and since it's my first post here, thanks for Webware!

hello
thanks, this explains the behavior
is there a way to make it last for a specified amount of time.
for example, with Perl's CGI.pm I can specify a string like "+2M",
which means, that the cookie should stay on disk for 2 month
I did not find anything like this in the sources.
