Hmmm... upon further inspection, it appears that something is putting a space before Set-Cookie: in the response header. Here's what I got when I used my magic request application written by a man I met in the subway one day:

GET /index.pl?user=antirice&pass=something_or_another HTTP/1.1

Check out the version of CGI you are using. I'm using 2.81 and it doesn't have such a space. Of course, it may be from the server string before it. Either way, this is probably the cause.

Hope this helps.
