cant for the life of me get it to accept my cookie file.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. have put the netscape header etc, using correct syntax for the cookie

Here is my cookie file:
# HTTP Cookie File
# http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
# This is a generated file!  Do not edit.
# To delete cookies, use the Cookie Manager.

www.test.com    FALSE   /       FALSE   0       uid     10000

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I suspect that your cookiefile is handcrafted. Based on the pasted text, you 
have
spaces between the columns instead of a tab. Make sure to just use one 'tab' 
between
each column and you should be good to go. Either way, RSSDler just uses python's
cookielib for netscape cookies, and I am not aware of any bugs in its handling 
of
cookies.
