Summary: Cookie handling problems

Initial Comment:
I've discovered a problem while trying to test a drupal-based site.
Drupal prepends a dot to the beginning of the domain portion of it's
cookies, eg:
SESSb43239df312c947f5c2c2d28e9f848e1=58a82d7f5f95ce745dae21e9513007b9;
expires=Sun, 20-Jun-2010 01:28:40 GMT; path=/; domain=.DOMAIN.TLD

When grinder recieves the cookie, I get the following error:
Bad Set-Cookie header:
SESSb43239df312c947f5c2c2d28e9f848e1=58a82d7f5f95ce745dae21e9513007b9;
expires=Sun, 20-Jun-2010 01:28:40 GMT; path=/; domain=.DOMAIN.TLD;
Current domain DOMAIN.TLD does not match given parsed .DOMAIN.TLD

The session cookie is accepted just fine by all major browsers. According
to rfc2109 and rfc 2965, the domain parameter of a cookie is supposed to
have a beginning dot, and the user agent is supposed to add one if
missing.

I was able to bypass the issue by hacking drupal to remove the leading dot, but when drupal tries to end the session, I get the following from grinder:
Bad Set-Cookie header: SESSb43239df312c947f5c2c2d28e9f848e1=deleted; expires=Thu, 28-May-2009 14:46:58 GMT; path=/; httponly
No '=' found for token starting at position 93
        at HTTPClient.Cookie.parse(Cookie.java:263)
