First, I tested it with DeleGate and URL as:

  http://myhost:9999/-_-http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/berea?id=berea&db=BioRC

It failed in the page saying that Cookie must be enabled.
So I retried it as this (referring the DeleGate's host with FQDN):

  http://myhost.localdomain:9999/-_-http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/berea?id=berea&db=BioRC

Then I saw (maybe) a successful page.


With parameters for debugging, FCL=-tee-n-h FSV=-tee-n-h, you can see how
a (Set-)Cookie is rewritten from its original form in a response message
from a server to the one forwarded to client after it is rewritten by
DeleGate.  In this case, the original Cookie is like this:

  Set-Cookie: name=value; path=/; domain=.host.dom

And it is rewritten by DeleGate like this:

  Set-Cookie: name=value; path=/-_-http://host.dom/; domain=myhost

The problem is that the domain "myhost" does not include "." character
which is necessary to be acceptable by a browser (Firefox) as a legal
Cookie.   And to be compliant with RFC2109, it must start with "." ...
