http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16357

           Summary: XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Cookie","") does not
                    work correctly
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 523.x (Safari 3)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore JavaScript
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: aamann at mac.com


Cookies specified by an XMLHttpRequest using setRequestHeader() are not being
sent properly. Instead, the request uses the cookie jar and sends the cookies
stored in Safari.

This makes it impossible to use multiple logins (e.g., for Dashboard widgets)
to a site or explicitly sending an empty header and requires login through
Safari for widgets connecting to cookie-based login sites.

See attached test case detailed instructions on how to reproduce this bug and
check the actual headers being sent by the request.
