Is that comment supposed to mean something?

Should the above code be changed to something more like:

	path = urlparse(self.web_page_url)[2] # '/mailman'
	if not path: path = self.web_page_url

I don't fully understand how path interacts with the rest of that
cookie code though.  I'm really supposed to be working now.  :-)

Ideally, the user-interface should check that the URL is acceptable, but IMHO
the back-end code should be made more robust as well.
