How to set cookie in opera mobile?

How to set cookie in opera mobile?

I tested with opera mobile for Linux using dragon fly on opera 10.10 for linux and am unable to set a cookie.
Note that opera mobile for Linux has a privacy setting to allow or disallow cookies and I allowed cookies. I could not find the same thing on my windows mobile version of opera mobile.

Script did not produce an error so I set a breakpoint and go to command line, here is the output:

>>> value="hello"
"hello"
>>> document.cookie=name+"="+escape(value)+expires;
"lessonName=hello; expires=Sat, 22 May 2010 09:59:37 GMT"
>>> document.cookie
""
>>> document.cookie=name+"="+escape(value)+"; expires=01/01/2011 00:00:00"
"lessonName=hello; expires=01/01/2011 00:00:00"
>>> document.cookie
""

Setting the cookie to: "lessonName=hello; expires=Sat, 22 May 2010 09:59:37 GMT"
gets me an empty string when asking for document.cookie
Setting the cookie to: "lessonName=hello; expires=01/01/2011 00:00:00"
same empty string.

This works in desktop browsers but not in opera mobile, tried on my windows mobile and get the following output:
document.cookie="mytest=hello; expires=Sat, 22 May 2010 09:59:37 GMT";
alert("cookie is:"+document.cookie+":empty is it?");
document.cookie="mytest=hello; expires=01/01/2011 00:00:00";
alert("cookie is:"+document.cookie+":empty is it?");

Result is an empty cookie twice (cookie is::empty is it?).

So here is the question: how do I set a cookie on opera mobile?

Just a little update I set the enable cookies to 3 when opening the opera:config page that should accept all cookies.
