Re: LayoutIgnoreHTTPHeaderURI

I'm not sure why this problem isn't gettting any attention - it's 
frustrating.

Another bit of information - the problem only seems to occur when the 
file is being called as the index file for a directory.

For example:

	When calling http://mysite.com/ the cookie is not set (unless 
mod_layout is disabled)

	When calling http://mysite.com/index.php - the cookie is set and 
updated as expected.
