From 67d26a361a6867eb7028c12c4d84bf7b93cb515c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2020 14:23:04 +0100 Subject: HTTP-COOKIES: mention that a trailing newline is required ... so that we know we got the whole and not a partial line. Also, changed the formatting of the fields away from a table again since the table format requires a github-markdown tool version that we don't run on the web server atm.
