I just fired up ie5 on solaris and viewed the url you mentioned, and found the InternetGetCookie Function, but it also states that the function needs: "Minimum operating systems Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, Windows CE 2.12 " While most unix operating systems include a compiler, so it is easy for a user to install a .xs file, most MS Windows PC's don't, so they would be looking for a precompiled file to support functions in a XS module.
