Node.js uses a hash for the headers by default. This is great, until you need to send multiple headers with the same name, such as Set-Cookie. There’s some hacks out there people have done for cookies to make sure they work in all browsers. I guess Safari supports comma delimited headers so you can set multiple cookies with one header. However, my experience has been that multiple Set-Cookie calls works best What I did is extend the ServerResponse in the http module, adding writeHeadArray, which accepts an array of headers. This is a quick hack, if you set multiple cookies with the same name, all will get written to the browser. My experience is the cookie gets set to the value of the last cookie sent.
My day job is working as a Systems Administrator for an international non-profit. During my career I've provided support for mixed Linux/Unix/Microsoft environments, using technology from such companies as Oracle, Vmware and Citrix.
By night, family time permitting, I'm a hobbyist developer. I've worked with C, C++, Perl, PHP, Python, and Java. I've also recently been diving into Ruby and Erlang.
I'm the maintainer and primary contributor for the Gaeutilities project, which provides a collection of utilities to assist in creating application with Python on Google Appengine. I don't use Appengine any more, but I do my best to at least provide bug fixes.
Recently I've been working on my project Unscatter which is a search portal and will soon offer social aggregation, news and other services.
