[Zope-dev] CopySupport and cookies

Hi,

Using "inside-out" virtual hosting (and other forms of URL munging) can
make copy-and-paste break.  For example, an object a.b.c addressed as

 http://foo.com/magic-string/a/b/c

will not be copiable because CopySupport uses BASEPATH1 as the Cookie path:

> def cookie_path(request):
>     # Return a "path" value for use in a cookie that refers
>     # to the root of the Zope object space.
>     return request['BASEPATH1'] or "/"

is there a good reason why this can't just return "/" as the cookie path?
