I never experience this (eventhough my servlet do not store my
"hand-made" cookie) --> If I try to list the name and value of cookies
(from the array), I'll always see, *at least one* cookie created by the
servlet engine...the session cookie.
So one possible reason for a zero length ck[] is, I think, the browser
does not accept cookies.
Oh ya, please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
