[Zope] Strange cookie 'feature'

[Duncan Booth]

I have no idea whether this is what is supposed to happen, but I just 
found a strange interaction between Zope and Netscape Enterprise 
Server.

I have a Zope server which is accessible either directly, or via a 
Netscape Server and PCGI.
What I was doing was to set a cookie and then do a 
RESPONSE.redirect(...) call. If accessing Zope directly this works 
as I expected, i.e. the redirected page found it had the cookie 
available and customised its output accordingly. But, when 
accessed through PCGI, the cookie was never set.

I think what was happening was that the Netscape server was 
interpreting the redirect itself so the client never saw the cookie it 
only saw the redirected page.
I fixed it by removing the redirect, using dtml-return instead.
