Well that solves it. I bet you were testing the app on an address that 
wasn't in the domain 'nih.gov'. Browsers only accept cookies for a 
domain it it originated from that domain. Without setting a domain it 
just goes to the domain from which it originated. This is only a problem 
if you want other sites in the same domain to be able to see it. So 
normally you don't need to set it.

Glad we could help.
