struct _cookie { //.. time_t expires; /* The time when this cookie expires */ //.. };

Using Lynx to dump the header, I see that the Set-Cookie request is present, but the expiry date is notable: 06-August -2044. I can't help but notice that this expiry date is farther in the future than time_t for 32-bit linux systems can represent.So I took a look at the Lynx source, and sure enough:What I think is happening is the cookie is immediately gobbled since the expiry time is some time in the early 20th century. Would it be possible for Metafiter's cookies to expire a little earlier for the sake of those of use still using legacy browsers on legacy systems? If cookies can be changed to expire in 15 years instead of 30, I promise to eventually upgrade to a 64 bit system and not bring this up again until the 64bit timestamp overflows on December 4th, 292277026596.
