You *would* use it if you used lynx (ssl'ified) to access hotmail.com
with any sort of regularity, since it requires something like 10 affirm-
ative accept responses without it ... :-) ...!

As to wildcarding enhancements, etc ... I've not found a need for any
such, as yet (and now, I believe there is a #define somewhere to always
allow *all* invalid cookies, but I've not needed to resort to that
either).

In short, while you may have not "really done it right", you did it
"good enough", IMHO.

And since it provides a basic functionality enhancement, it isn't in
the "bloat" category ... unlike some more recent additions, IMNSHO.

Thanks ...
