The way I understand things, cookies must be printed before the header 
is returned (though this may have changed in HTTP/1.1, anyone?) In which 
case setting a cookie from within an SSI non-javascript is not possible.

A cookie is just specifically formatted text being printed before the 
Content-type: text/html header in which case if you run it like a CGI 
then you can control when the header is printed (aka after your cookie 
print) however, with an SSI I don't believe you can control the header 
being printed, and therefore your cookie will always be printed post 
header...which won't work.

You could probably control this sequence of events in mod_perl, but that 
is beyond my mod_perl experience...

IIS handles this by buffering the response until essentially an EOF 
which is why it *might* work on windows in IIS, but this buffering 
causes other problems..............
