RE: Cookies, Called Routine
I just downloaded version 1.23 and the cookie still appears to be
lowercase.
Is there a link to the latest beta?

Peter,
Yes, I know about this "problem." You see... The RFC that sets the
standards for cookies says very clearly that cookie names are not
case-sensitive. And when I wrote HTTPAPI, I believed that people would
follow those standards.
However, I have discovered (you are the 3rd person to report it) that
there are quite a few applications out there that treat cookies as
case-sensitive despite that the standards say that they are not.
Anyway, that problem should already be fixed in the current beta. Try
using the built-in cookie support (instead of the ADDL_HEADER kludge) in
the current beta and see if it solves the issue.
