[wp-hackers] Site URL change 'bug'?

[Murray at PlanetThoughtful]

Hi John,

Thank you for pointing me to this!

I've been wondering, is there a point to dynamically deriving the cookie
hash from the site url during normal operation?

Would it be possible to derive the cookie hash at install, and store it in a
table and simply use that regardless of the address being used to access the
blog? Alternatively, simply generate a random 32 char string (ie
md5(uniqid(rand(),1)) ) at time of install and use that in a similar way?

This has probably already been discussed to death, but thought it was worth
mentioning.

Much warmth,

Murray

I created a bug report for this in early September after I experienced
the same problem.  My workaround is in the report.
