I have tried a number of different usages with setcookie().  All of the usages I tried conform to the manual's explaination of setcookie().

The cookie is sent fine UNLESS I set the domain field.  If I do set the domain field, then Netscape won't parse the cookie.  IE4 parses it fine.

I tested with Netscape 4.51 under Linux and Windows98.

I know Netscape is incredibly unforgiving when it comes to syntax, yet the
output i get when manually requesting the page with the cookie in it seems
to conform to their "preliminary specification".

Well, I tested the scripts at the URL you provided with Netscape and they
worked fine.  They all set the cookie perfectly.  I assume you either figured it
out or have some sort of local client-side problem.
