On Nov 16, Rory.Plaire at wahchang.com had something to say about RE:...

No. Unless you wanna donate teh $$$$$$$$$$...   ;-)

Er... no. that's deleting the *cookie*, not the *cookie value*

Er.. it would have to, unless it's a server-side redirect (which I really
don't think it is). If it's a 301/302 (never remember which) client-side
redirect, then it's basically saying "somewhere else" and if there's a
Location header (which there will be here) then it's saying "it's
somewhere else and if you want it, make another request for the file named
in the Location header.

So, the reason there's no cookie value with the next request would be
because you've just set it to an empty string during the last request.
