Cookie name and expiration

[ShoqulKutlu]

I'd already found my problem, that I had to set the "path" propert of
a cookie object something like below:

myCookie.path = '/'

This is not the cookie content and not documented in the mod_python
cookie module documentation.

I hope this will help anyone else..

Regards,
Kutlu
