IE for Mac isn't part of our test suite here so I never gave it a check, frankly
its no longer supported by Microsoft or Apple and has since been superseded by
Safari. Suitable documentation can be added explaining the problem with IE for
Mac though I suspect it has already disappeared through its lack of support for
"Web 2.0".

Our test results showed that Opera, Webkit, Gecko and IE based browsers had no
problem with the cookie format sent, those which didn't support HttpOnly simply
ignored it (Gecko).

The Mozilla feature request is at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178993 A patch was submitted after
sponsorship from Live Journal but since the change wasn't backwards compatible
with older versions of the browsers they refused to implement it.

Cheers,
Scott
