I still haven’t figured out how you would do this with .rhtml, but it’s  
not really necessary. The really interesting and helpful thing would be  
to make eruby put up the cookie if has or eventually gets a method or  
set of methods to do so.

Thanks all though for the feedback.

Oddly, the cookie I see in my browser isn’t readable by default from the  
redirected to point. Presumably I need a path or something…

I thought I answered that. A redirect option would be easy to add.
