i've been tinkering with the modperl book examples
for Apache::Ticket*.pm (as described p305-322)...
it works for
linux/konqueror
linux/netscape
win/explorer
it doesn't work for
linux/lynx
mac/netscape
the ones that do work get to the login page with two textfields
(username and password) with a login button; those that don't
work get a "your browser doesn't accept cookies" page.
where can i find some pointers on the differences between various
browsers' adherence to standards, and hints on workarounds?
(or, is this something else i've stumbled into?)

here's a telnet trace of the situation, so apparently the program
logic is working in all instances; but some browsers just won't
play nice--

and here it's bracketed with "294" in front, and "0" again taking
up the rear. what's up with that?
