The cookies file saved by wget seem to be of the wrong format. More
specifically, the PATH field does not have a leading slash ('/'). For example,
if I invoke wget as
wget -d --save-cookies cookies.txt 'http://localhost/~user/index.php?m=1
where index.php just saves the cookie with name 'm', the contents of
cookies.txt is
--------------------------------------------------
# HTTP cookie file.
# Generated by Wget on 2005-02-02 14:31:03.
# Edit at your own risk.
.localhost:80 TRUE %7Euser/index.php FALSE 1138919463 m
1
--------------------------------------------------
I think the '%7Euser/index.php' should be '/%7Euser/index.php'. I haven't read
the Netscape cookie specification in any detail, but by scanning through the
cookie file saved by the Firefox browser, I find that all the entries in that
file have this leading slash.
