289 - bug 3349227 "secure attribute in cookie does not work with equals sign"

There are two keywords in cookie headers that don't follow the regular
name=value style: secure and httponly. Still we must support that they
are written like 'secure=' and then treat them as if they were written
'secure'. Test case 31 was much extended by Rob Ward to test this.

This is to aid easier machine parsing and to make sure nobody who reads
these header lines can miss the info.

Drop the pre-release part from this text as we don't use that in
