The package works well, but the biggest problem I've run into in using it is: It doesn't like URL's that contain only one dot. "http://foo.com" won't work. According to the RFC, URLs must contain at least two dots and this package enforces that.

------------------------------

Is there any truth to this? What would be an alternative package to use? The reason is, my cookies don't seem to be working. And I wonder if this is why, as the site has only one dot...
