You can try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost which is sure to work. I have 
fixed the bug and now should work also on localhost. The fix will be included 
in version 0.14.5 between today and tomorrow. Can you confirm it works?

Sorry, doesn't work with 0.14.5.

It seems like a workaround. Looks like on localhost when creating a cookie, it 
uses 127.0.0.1 for the domain which is okay for localhost, but something like 
that won't work when you have other name based virtual hosts. For example, I 
also have a local web server that is attached to the domain dev (ie 
http://dev/index.php) and so in a case like that, I cannot set a cookie for the 
domain 'dev'...unless i pull up the javascript console and create it myself.

Thing is... this used to work... how hard is it to revert to the code which did 
the job correctly?

I think this is still broken. It has never worked for me. Using 

Edit This Cookie 0.14.8
chrome 16.0.912.75 m

Trying to add a cookie to localhost:8080

I have tried 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.1:8080, localhost, localhost:8080

Adding a Localhost cookie does not work for me either. I am using a port of 
3000 on my local machine. I am using version 0.31. However if i use 127.0.0.1 
with no port in the 'add cookie' interface it does work

recap:
localhost:3000 addCookie fails
localhost addCookie fails
127.0.0.1:3000 addCookie fails
127.0.0.1 addCookie success!

Edit This Cookie 0.31
chrome: 20.0.1132.57 m

Try set the cookie_domain to "" and the cookie can be created for the localhost 
also.
It worked fine for me.

Seems like there is a regression of this issue. I can't create cookies for 
localhost in the version 1.4

Yep, it's not working for me either. Need to set the domain to empty string and 
then it does work.

set domain = "" worked for me as of today's latest version: 1.4.1
