Opera does not set cookies on ip addresses.

If I give in the request,
Set-Cookie: TestCookie=qwe; expires=Mon, 05-Dec-2011 15:54:52 GMT; path=/admin/; domain=127.0.0.1
then the cookie is not tritely set.
Replacing 127.0.0.1 with localhost changes things.

The network is full of messages confirming the problem, but I could not find a single solution.
How to take away this craft of the gloomy genius? Or at least understand the meaning of this restriction.

Ok, got into the RFC:
The domain parameter takes values from the FQDN.
Which is described next to it: Fully-qualified host name (FQHN) means either the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of a host (ie, a completely specified domain name ending in a top-level domain such as .com or .uk ), or the
numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address of a host.

Opera sets cookies on ip addresses, it doesn't set cookies specifically on 127.0.0.1. And she's not alone.

What, do you really have any ideas when you see the line domain=127.0.0.1?
