There was a problem with delCookie in 0.9.3 but that should have been 
fixed in 0.9.4 (r6559(. Can you explain more exactly what you're doing 
or provide a test case?

simple:
        self.response().delCookie('cookieName')
works in 0.9.2
doesn't work in 0.9.4 (cookie creation works)

I don't know how to debug that...

Hm, this is working for me in 0.9.4.

I tried with
self.response().setCookie('mycookie', 'myvalue')
in one servlet - the cookie was there, and then
self.response().delCookie('mycookie')
in another servlet - the cookie was gone.

Did you try with an url rewrite rule?
Maybe the one I have?

No, but if you set cookies manually, the path is always set to '/' 
unless you specify otherwise. The automatic path determination applies 
only to the session cookie. So rewrite plays no role here.

However, I can imagine one problem. In 0.9.4, cookie.delete() does not 
set the path to '/' any more, but leaves it alone. This was changed 
because the session cookie can have a different path from '/'. However, 
for a manually set cookie, delCookie now deletes a cookie with path='', 
while setCookie had set a cookie with path='/'. Maybe some browsers 
think the cookies are different because of that. (Which browser were you 
using? I tested with Firefox.) My solution was to add a parameter "path" 
with the same default '/' as setCookie to delCookie to make sure the 
cookies always have the same path.

You must check out the new version of HTTPResponse.py for testing:
http://svn.w4py.org/Webware/trunk/WebKit/HTTPResponse.py

By the way, you can also use Session() instead of manually fiddling 
around with cookies. That's much easier.
