Subject: LYNX-DEV v2.6FM update
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 1997 17:22:45 -0500 (EST)

* Added handling of expires attribute values in Version 0 (a.k.a. Netscape)
  Set-Cookie MIME headers or META tags, and added "Maximum Gobble Date"
  entries in the Cookie Jar Page which indicate the maximum intended age
  for each cookie based on the Version 0 expires or Version 1 max-age
  attribute values. - FM 
* Added an LYmktime() function in LYUtils.c which accepts strings in the
  format "Day, dd-Mon-yy hh:mm:ss GMT" or "Day, dd Mon yyyy hh:mm:ss GMT",
  parses and converts them to time_t format (seconds since 00:00:00 Jan 1
  1970), and returns the time_t value, or zero if the date is in the
  past.  It is used for handling Expires headers or attribute values. - FM
* Added parsing of Cache-Control and Expires MIME headers and META tags
  sufficient to determine whether the no_cache element should be set in
  the document's structures. - FM
* Eliminated the "; $Path=foo; $Domain=blah" attr=value pairs when sending
  Version 0 (a.k.a. Netscape) cookies in request headers, because too may
  CGI scripts in the real world have brain-dead parsers and fail when they
  are included. - FM
* Added handling of Set-Cookie directives in META tags. - AK
