Hmmm, this works just fine for me -- I do it all the time. I tend to
do it with a domain mapped to 127.0.0.1 via the hosts file, rather than
"localhost", but using that approach I can set cookies fine under Win98
(as far as I remember, not using it now), Win 2000, and Win XP, in both
Mozilla and IE. I am running Apache 1.3.29 as the local server in all
cases.
