I've tried this on firefox 1.5, ie 6, and Opera 9, and all my security
permissions in the browsers are set to accept cookies. And yeah, I know
that cookies have to be received by the browser, which is why I specifically
pointed out that the code to receive the value in the cookie is in a second
script. One page has the setcookie, the second page (after a header
redirect) authenticates it. Sorry if that was a bit confusing.
