Hi Mark,
you have to give it a number different from 0, because of how the
internals work. This is an "optional integer" which falls back to 0 if
nothing is given, and if 0, then it's not written.
Set it to the past using os.time instead:
r:setcookie{
key = 'foobar',
value = 'blah',
expipres = os.time() - 1
}
With regards,
Daniel.
