I changed your code to display HTTP_COOKIE before setting the cookie, shutdown the browser window, restarted and I still see the cookie in there. I do have a seperate browser window also open - is that what is still holding the env variable?

I will be using a persistent cookie and expect to read it at the start of my app, so are you saying that when I start a clean session, HTTP_COOKIE will NOT be available?
