Ahh, should have guessed that, std unix time.

Well anyway, now i have compared what curl vs mozilla
saves in the cookie file, visiting the same adress.. it is not
the same. Mozilla does not save the sessioncookie in the
cookie file (the phpsessid, see below).

I started with an empty cookies.txt, then pointed mozilla
at www.order.proprint.se, after that the file had following:

www.order.proprint.se FALSE / FALSE 1109159434
CookieValue 1

Only one line in the cookiefile, but the mozilla cookie-manager
said there where two cookies (that coresponds to what curl does).

Then i emptied the file and pointed curl at the same adress
and saved the cookie with the -c option, curl saved two lines:

www.order.proprint.se FALSE / FALSE 0 PHPSESSID
 2db45874b03f7240ff96c447bb613a3e

www.order.proprint.se FALSE / FALSE 1109159853
 CookieValue 1

If i have mozilla allredy started when i write the above
cookies with curl, and then visit the adress, mozilla
deletes the "phpsessid" cookie, and gets a new one that
probably not is stored in any file. I also tried to change
the "0" to a future time, did not help, mozilla deleted it
anyway and stored a new "phpsessid" in memmory.
