Has anyone had any experience on mac os x with WEBrick and cookies not  
persisting? What I’m doing is pushing a cookie into the response obj of  
a webrick request. When another request comes in. The req.cookies is  
empty… ([])

Any ideas?

Have you tried looking at the headers returned from WEBrick? Try using  
LiveHTTPHeaders with firefox. That might help you figure out whats  
wrong.
