Posts: ok, here some background why no IP.

Cookies are specified in RFC 2965.

Within that, we can read:

Quote:
Host name (HN) means either the host domain name (HDN) or the numeric
Internet Protocol (IP) address of a host. The fully qualified domain
name is preferred; use of numeric IP addresses is strongly
discouraged.

A practical result is, that nor all browser can handle ip-as-domain-name cookies. So thats why opn cannot (and will not) deal with them.
