                     Supposedly, this is changed in JDK 1.4, but HttpUnit does not support the new feature as yet.</answer>

+                    sites may specify a domain and path to restrict the scope of their cookies. These specifications
+                    must follow certain rules, and the vast majority of sites do. Unfortunately, there are some
+                    popular sites (such as Yahoo.com) which do not. By default, HttpUnit is very strict about
+                    implementing the spec, and will reject such cookies. You can control this behavior by calls to the
+                    <a href="api/com/meterware/httpunit/cookies/CookieProperties.html">CookieProperties</a> class.
+                    If you suspect that this is happening, you can also register a
+                    <a href="api/com/meterware/httpunit/cookies/CookieListener.html">CookieListener</a> to watch for cookies
+                    being rejected.]]</answer>
