Why can't I set a cookie and redirect?

I'm having a problem setting a cookie and doing a `302` redirect In chrome the cookie is not being set (I haven't tested safari), in other browsers I was having the same problem until I added `Path=/` to the cookie an now it works. This is how the header looks; the status is `302 Found` ``` Content-Type text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Expires Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Set-Cookie alasca-flash=error-Message<Required<error-Name<Required<error-Sex<Required<error-Age<Required<;Path=/ Location /messages/sdf Content-Length 0 Server Jetty(6.1.x) ``` Any idea on why the cookie is not set? Or any workaround?
