>From RFC 2616, one could infer that multiple Cookie: headers must be
concatenable into a single one. But there are two arguments against
this conclusion:

1. Non-conforming Netscape style cookies (comma in date).
2. The "single-cookie-header" option has been introduced to HttpClient
   for interoperability with servers that are *not* fully conformant
   to the various HTTP related specs.

If the server isn't able to understand multiple cookie headers, we
should not expect it to understand multiple cookie specs in a single
header either. I think your approach is appropriate.

cheers,
