Bug Description
Binary package hint: lynx
Cookies which are set for domain=.example.com are not sent in requests to example.com (note the lack of a www. prefix). This means users can not log into sites like Launchpad (launchpad.net) which need to set authentication cookies for many subsites (e.g., code.launchpad.net) because they store their authentication cookies with domain=
Duplication instructions can be found at https:/
Any pointers to an upstream place where this bug can also be filed would be appreciated as well.
The version of Lynx being used is 2.8.8dev.2-1 on Ubuntu 10.04.

I think I can reproduce this (2.8.2dev.6).

launchpad isn't really a good place to report bugs, since they're rarely
fixed in Ubuntu - it's using a moderately old version of Debian testing.
The "lynx-cur" package in Debian gets the most bug-reports (other than
the lynx-dev mailing list).
