Yes, I assumed that.

Did you understand what I said about the endless loop?

That sort of thing was commonplace when I designed HTTPAPI back in 2001. 
  It's no longer commonplace today -- if I were you, I'd use the default 
user-agent string.  I'd only change it if it causes a problem.

Yes, that's an obsolete example, it will not be included in the next 
release of HTTPAPI.

I don't know what the issue is, so I can't answer that question. You've 
only given me rather high-level information about the problem, you 
haven't shown be the actual details.

But, there have been fixes to the cookie support that could potentially 
matter -- so please upgrade so that you are using the beta.

Then, please remove the calls to http_xproc() so that cookie support can 
process normally.
