Yes - you are right.  That was a typo in my e-mail message.

should be in quotes. 

It works without quotes in Netscape and putting quotes around
it didn't seem to help with IE.  This even simpler cookie:

Set-Cookie: foo=test; domain=www3.tripos.com

doesn't result in the variable HTTP_COOKIE being created in
the subsequent shell script.  In IE, I get a warning around
the cookie being received and the info looks correct in the
warning message but the cookie disappears after that.

I don't know what this means.  I am not doing anything else special.
