Camping list - May 2008 - Problem with cookies in CGI mode

So it took me ages to figure out how to get cookies set in my app, and  
here was the problem.

I''m using camping''s built in CGI support, and with that you
can have
something like domain.com/blah/app.rb and that will go to your /  
route, which is okay, except that the path the cookies are set with is  
domain.com/blah/app.rb/

So if you try to use that url, none of your cookies get sent back to  
the server, but if you use domain.com/blah/app.rb/ everything works  
fine. Sure would be good if camping implemented a redirect for that  
situation. :)

Indeed. The code for that is handler-specific -- there''s similar  
issues in FastCGI.
