I'm fine with adding this, but I think we need some sort of check for
that not being a valid cookie. That isn't new, we really should have
already.

Indent the list_empty() one more tab, should be after the ( if possible.

reqeust -> request

Also lines are too long, limit to 80 chars please.

And why aren't we just using the list_empty() check like before, and not
having to add the inval cookie value?

Redundant parens around the cookie check.
