+##### getDomainFromRequest
+
+Optional function to override the `Domain` `Set-Cookie` attribute.

+cookie domain. The function is given `req` as the first argument if

+domain (as for `genid`).  This can be useful if the same app is
+accessed from different families of domains, some of which should
+share cookies.
