I would also prefer a real fix in t3lib_div, but I see the problem that
chances are high that my correction may work in one setup, but maybe not
in another setup, depending on the configuration of TYPO3 (multiple
domain records? cookiedomain setting?) and the proxy server used
(Apache? Squid? Varnish?). So I think an extension would enable users
who need this functionality to test it, without the need to patch their
core files and without introducing bugs to the core in SVN at the same time.

I will ask Ingo about his opinion regarding adding a hook to t3lib_div.
I know it's bad timing to ask now after the feature freeze. ;-)

Thank you for your thoughts!

Have a nice weekend.
