[wp-hackers] Handling cookies with wp-plugin and wp-supercache

[Donncha O Caoimh]

For the past few weeks I've been meaning to write a "Hacking Supercache 
for fun and pleasure" post with tips and tricks and lists of actions and 
filters that can be used.

Unfortunately a lack of time has stopped me writing it so far but maybe 
this month.

If you're curious, have a read through wp-cache-phase1.php. It's a short 
file but has some interesting stuff, and the plugins/ folder has 2 
example plugins.

PS. it's not horrible, really! :P
