[wp-hackers] Setting A Cookie

Hi,

I want to set a cookie dependent on whether a specific query var has been set.  ie, set the cookie
to be 'jamie' if author=jamie appears in the query.  As far as I can tell this can't be done at the
moment.  You can't send a cookie after the headers go out in send_headers().  But, you can't get at
the query_var until parse_request() has been called.  There doesn't seem to be an action in between
that would allow the cookie to be set.

Can anyone think of a way around this?  If not, a new action hook would be nice: 'pre_send_headers'
or 'post_parse_request'.  (That second one might be a little confusing).

Cheers,

Jamie.
