1997-07-09
* Massive updating and revamping of the cookie support in accordance with
  http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/draft-ietf-http-state-man-mec-02.txt
  which is scheduled to replace RFC 2109 on July 15, 1997.  Noteworthy
  changes are that (1) the blanket port restriction is now lifted, and
  sharing of cookies among servers with matching domains but different
  ports is blocked only if a port attribute was included in the
  Set-Cookie2 header (or Set-Cookie header, though it's not expected
  there), with a value which defaults to the request's port, but can
  be a comma separated list of ports, and (2) the blanket restriction
  on sharing of SSL-encrypted (https) cookies with http servers is
  lifted, and normally depends on the Set-Cookie or Set-Cookie2 header
  having included a secure attribute.  However, a configuration option
  (see lynx.cfg) to FORCE_SSL_COOKIES_SECURE is now available, and the
  compilation or configuration default can be toggled via a -force_secure
  command line switch. - FM
