Dear list,

I'm running a 0.9.7 application (screenshots.debian.net) and this
morning received a paste error in my mail that got me thinking. The
actual exception was:

> CookieError: Illegal key value: ,__utma

And the probable cause is this cookie:

> HTTP_COOKIE   
> ',__utma=183447588.206002125.1285996917.1285996917.1285996917.1; 
> __utmb=183447588.2.10.1285996917; __utmc=183447588; 
> __utmz=183447588.1285996917.1.1.utmcsr=(direct)|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none)'

Are cookies beginning with underscores not valid? Or is this an
artificial limitation here? There is another cookie that I found strange:

> HTTP_EVUCPAXFJC

Is this some kind of attacker who wants to annoy the Pylons application
with overly long cookies to see if it fails?

Cheers
