Greetings again,
Thanks to richard for pointing out a good way to
devle
into the source. It appears after browsing through the
source that the ' ' (space) is encoded to '+'. Also
the
characters '_', '-', '.' do get special treatment.

Obviously, this works great in the scenario where the
cookie is set by the PHP/Server and retrieved by a
PHP/Server.

Since the encoding is not mandated by the spec, I
guess I cannot fault PHP for doing what it does. But I
am curious as to what led to the design decision to
encode ' ' to '+'.

Thanks to richard and others for all the help.
MK
