Drop Google Analytics cookies ?

Is there any way in ATS to drop or ignore the Google Analytics cookies
(these are named "__utm?"), so that these doesn't block cache-ability
of content ?

Yeah, it's not smart enough to filter out within the header, so the entire 
header line that matches that string is nuked.

I now tried this, but don't see how I can filter out individual cookies. 

If I use the filter:

	[READ_REQUEST_HDR]
		Cookie /__utm.=/

it seems to filter out *all* cookies when I have a cookie that matches
the filter. Is there something I'm missing, or is the supposed to be
an all or nothing solution?

You can use the header_filter plugin to filter out cookies:
