Netscape cookie file

Hi,

I have noticed that, sometimes, netscape and mozilla don't save
the path of a cookie, for example, it happens to me in
www.cajastur.es.

As the path is missing, libcurl discards the cookie. This seems
more netscape's problem than libcurl's, but it wouldn't be too
hard to support it doing something like:

--- cookie.c Wed May 23 01:18:52 2001
+++ curl-7.7.4-pre2/lib/cookie.c Fri Jan 5 11:11:42 2001
@@ -235,8 +235,3 @@
       case 2:
- if ((strncmp("TRUE",ptr,4))&&(strncmp("FALSE",ptr,5))) {
- co->path = strdup(ptr);
- } else {
- co->path = "/";
- fields++;
- }
+ co->path = strdup(ptr);
         break;

It works but it feels like a kludge.

Andres
