Hello, Please forgive me if this list is not the correct recipient for this message. If there is a better destination, I will be happy to send it on. I am working on a web services client that is mostly a wrapper around URL Package. I am using GNU Emacs v.23.2. My client implementation requires keeping tight rein on a session ID cookie. My sessions are terminating abnormally. I believe I have tracked this issue to a bug in url-cookie-expired-p. If the cookie's expiration date is the same as today's date, url-cookie-expired-p normalizes the times to seconds and compares the difference. I believe the problem is in the normalization algorithm. In pseudo-code, the current implementation does: (+ (* 360 seconds) (* 60 minutes) (* 1 hours)) I believe this should be: (+ (* 1 seconds) (* 60 minutes) (* 360 hours)). As is, the result of the comparison is almost always dependent on the number of seconds in the time strings. It is interesting how frequently this mistaken comparison is correct. I have attached a patch. Thank you, -shawn
