[mod_python] [SPAM] can't set several cookies from the same page

Hello,

I'm a happy mod_python user since... yesterday.

I can't seem to get the following to work: setting 2 cookies from
the same request. The following code is taken from the documentation
for the most part; apparently, it results in only one "Set-Cookie"
header being emitted in the HTTP reply headers.

Initially I just wanted to establish a session + a cookie at the
same time and it didn't work either, apparently for the same reason.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Am I missing something obvious?

I'm using mod_python 3.2.10, Python 2.4.3, Apache 2.0.59 on FreeBSD 4.11.

                                 secret=SECRET)
    if cookies.has_key(ident):
        mycookie = cookies[ident]
        req.write("OK, cookie found: %s\n" % mycookie)
        if type(mycookie) is Cookie.MarshalCookie:
            req.write('Here is what it looks like decoded: %s=%s\n'
                      % (mycookie.name, mycookie.value))
        else:
            req.write('Strange, cannot decode...\n')
    else:
        value = {'eu_org': ident}
        Cookie.add_cookie(req, Cookie.MarshalCookie(ident, value, SECRET))
        req.write("No cookie found, trying to set one\n")

def handler(req):
    req.content_type = "text/plain"
    _cookiehandler(req, 'id1')
    _cookiehandler(req, 'id2')
    return apache.OK
