It would seem that set_cookie will still set a cookie via HTTP, even if the secure parameter is
true.
So even if your site uses HTTPS/SSL to communicate sensitive data, if the initial cookie was set by
set_cookie via HTTP, an attacker listening on the wire could easily spoof a visitor's cookie
and gain access to their session.
