Could some kind soul advice a little,please.
I have a C++ client, communicating with a perl script over http. I send a cookie from the script to the client, and naturally want to send it
back to the script to maintain the state.

However, sending the cookie back to the script causes the script to crash.

the script is simple, it accepts parameters from a form in the C++ client,
and prints them back to the client( this part works).

There is conclusively something wrong with the format of the cookie sent
back:
the line of the cookie sent to the script is this:

Cookie:cookiename=cookieval;cookieparam1...cookieparamn.

is this correct way of sending the cookie?(correct format?)

many thank's for any advice

Here is where cookies are described:

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2109/rfc2109

E.g.
Cookie: cookie1name="cookie1value"; cookie2name="cookie2value"
Cookie2: $Version=1

FYI:
Download and install the "lynx" web browser; it's very useful for debugging web pages and scripts. If you enable lynx's "trace" mode, it outputs into its trace file a verbatim copy of the HTTP request it sends.
