[erlang-bugs] Possible regression in httpc's cookie handling

[Ingela Anderton Andin]

Hi!

Thank you for reporting this. It looks really strange and I must have 
committed it by accident. The change has nothing to do with the with the
rest of the commit. You could try changing it back and see if it helps.
We have a new test case to write.
