The Set-Cookie issue has been fixed in apache CVS, but the chunked response
issue hasn't yet. Forward any ideas/patches to the dev@httpd.apache.org
or to mod_proxy's maintainer, minfrin at sharp dot fm.

I have not yet been able to get 1.3.23 successfully patched to fix the
Set-Cookie issue, and I can't use 1.3.24 because of the chunking problem.  
(Plus, the 1.3.23 problem of the proxy hanging on to back-end connections
until it's done talking with the client pretty much defeats the purpose of
using it in accelerator mode.)

Does anyone know the most recent Apache version where the Set-Cookie and
chunked problems were *not* an issue for mod_proxy?  I have an old 1.3.14
instance that seems to work, but I'd rather not go back that far...

I know the chunking bug wasn't in 1.3.22, but I do not know about the
Set-Cookie status in that release because I didn't notice it until much
later (customer setting multiple cookies complained). The chunking bug
is of course much more visible since it breaks Netscape browsers completely.
