Using Cookie.py under Python 1.52

[Colin Meeks]

I think I found the problem.  In the cookie you have to set the max-age and
expires (netscape seems to need the latter) properties.  This tells the
browser to store the cookie for x amount of seconds,  otherwise the cookie
is just stored for that particular session.

Does anybody know how long a session lasts??  Does a session end when the
user navigates to another site??
