I've fixed this in the docs, but wanted to verify that the actual behavior is in fact the desired behavior. The docs state (stated until today) that the domain argument to the CO RewriteRule flag would default to the current domain. This is not the case. Omitting the domain argument results in:
74.131.224.250 - - [15/Apr/2011:20:01:06 +0000] [embowen.com/sid#7ff55cfc54f8][rid#7ff55d254168/subreq] (1) pass through /index.php (Test case: RewriteRule ^ - [CO=foo:bar]) whereas with the domain, it results in: 74.131.224.250 - - [15/Apr/2011:20:01:33 +0000] [embowen.com/sid#7f02acd994f8][rid#7f02ad0180e8/initial] (5) setting cookie 'foo=bar; path=/; domain=embowen.com' 74.131.224.250 - - [15/Apr/2011:20:01:33 +0000] [embowen.com/sid#7f02acd994f8][rid#7f02ad0180e8/initial] (1) pass through /index.php (Test case: RewriteRule ^ - [CO=foo:bar:embowen.com] Granted, it seems to be a good idea to always set the domain, and in fact I had never encountered this "bug" before because I always do set the domain.
