This will only set in memory cookies. If you want the cookie to be written to
the cookies.txt file, then you must provide an expire parameter.

[set-cookie name=MV_USERNAME value="" expire="Tue, 03-Apr-2001 17:00:00 GMT"]

Taken from some of the new 4.8 docs is this exerpt:


2.69.2.3. expire

Persistent cookies (that outlive a browser session) require an expiration date. The date must be a string of the form:

"Wdy, DD-Mon-YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT"

and the timezone must be GMT.

If you do not supply a date, the cookie will disappear when the user closes the browser.
