Bug in OWS21(COOKIE SEND).

    Looks like it my of my own favorites:

    it formats cookie exp. date into "char" using     MM for minutes instead of MI. Pretty easy to fix -     it's in line 99 :
    DD-Mon-YY HH24:MM should be changed into     DD-Mon-YY HH24:MI .

    Wouldn't hurt to recompile right away too.

    This one was pretty hard to mention, cause

  1. One has to see the cookie alert screen in Netscape to see exact expiration date
  2. Since the difference is not that big ( 59 minutes :) at most ), it's pretty hard to mention it. .. Especially in December :).

    But , if you rely on Cookie expiring at exact time (wouldn't

            want to do it actually , because you'll have to  rely 
            on  client's computer to do it), ,things will get messy.
