when I use HttpWebRequest with CookieContainer object that handles cookies,
if I have this cookie header in a response:

Set-Cookie: CookieName=; path=/;expires=01-Jan-1999 00:00:00 GMT

the cookie is not deleted for the next request, what should be and actually
done with Internet Explorer as client.

is this a bug is there a solution / workaroung by manually deleting the
cookie?

TIA.
