Summary: Follow Location: CURLOPT_COOKIE vs CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER

Initial Comment:
Hello, im using PHP 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.6 and curl 7.21.6

hoping someone can confirm if this is happening to others and that it is normal behvaiour;

when a cookie is apended via Set-Cookie it is joined with a comma if the cookies are set via CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER and with a semi-colon if the cookies are set via CURLOPT_COOKIE.

I also noticed that if cookies are set via BOTH CURLOPT_HTPPHEADER and CURLOPT_COOKIE, only the cookies from CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER are considered.

Message:
sorry i cant replicate the behaviour with the curl binary (time poor and
ignorant).

typically i would submit here first to rule out the actual library, then to
the php wrapper bug tracker; as im question the behaviour aswell as php
wrapper people never seem to reply within a reasonable time period (or at
all).

sending a request via curl with CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATIOn and with cookies set
via either CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER or CURLOPT_COOKIE produces differing results
(with the cookies in transit) when the server replies with a Set-Cookie
header.

sorry, i dont know how to say it any more clearer than that including what
ive said previously?

Sorry, I meant to say that we have a much more *recent* version.

Message:
I'm sorry but I don't know what you're talking about. Can you please attach
a libcurl-using source code that repeats a problem, and can you with that
clearly express what you'd like the program to do and what it instead
does?

Please be aware that A) this project is for the libcurl library and not the
PHP/CURL binding (for which you should contact/report the PHP team for
problems) and B) we have a much more released libcurl version and it would
be very good if you first checked if that version too shows the problem -
if the problem is indeed in libcurl and not in the binding...
