Re: [Chicken-users] Problem with http-client in chicken 4.2.0

I now appear to have the first suspected problem, case normalisation of cookies. Previously I sent a SID cookie, but intarweb seems to convert it to Sid, and Google refuses it. Is there any way to control this behaviour?

Unbelievably enough, that was the problem. Thank you all for the help, that would have taken me forever to figure out.

Good catch indeed! I'll try this when I get home.

Thanks!

Good catch.  It's possible that Google doesn't allow ; as separator.
In that case, parameterize form-urlencoded-separator to "&;" or just "&".

This parameter is for uri-common, which defaults to ";&" because
of the recommendation in the HTML spec to prefer ";" as separator, but
to also allow "&" on input. The reason is the former doesn't have to be
specially encoded in HTML.
