Christoph Zwerschke <c...@online.de> added the comment:

This patch should really be included.

As carl already mentioned, the relevant spec is RFC 6265, see section 5.4.2: 
"The user agent SHOULD sort the cookie-list in the following order: Cookies 
with longer paths are listed before cookies with shorter paths. Among cookies 
that have equal-length path fields, cookies with earlier creation-times are 
listed before cookies with later creation-times."

Currently, if the cookies are loaded with cookies.load(env['HTTP_COOKIE']) as 
most web frameworks do, then the cookies will be populated with the least 
specific or oldest values if there are duplicates. This is really bad.
