|   * If a CGI script wishes to delete a cookie, it can do so by

|   is in the past. The path and name must match exactly in order for
|   the expiring cookie to replace the valid cookie. This requirement
|   makes it difficult for anyone but the originator of a cookie to
|   delete a cookie.

I don't think that's right.

c['3802Cookie'] = '123'
