Barry Books commented on TAP5-2327:
-----------------------------------


I believe you have to switch to Java 7 to get the servlet 3.0 spec and Jetty 7 
in Tapestry test only supports 2.5. Currently setting the httpOnly flag is way 
more difficult than it should be because the framework does not support it at 
all. I do it now by overriding the service and always setting the httpOnly flag 
if I'm in production mode. The works OK if you always want to set the flag.

I though about patching the service to log an error if the httponly flag is set 
but then the logs get filled up and in the end I decided not supporting 
httponly is a documentation problem. Either way would be fine with me but I 
think the application should be able to set the httpOnly flag and have the 
service adapt to whatever the environment is.

I'm also assuming this will be in 5.5 anyway.

> Since Servlet 3.0 there is an option to mark cookies as httpOnly via 
> javax.servlet.http.Cookie.setHttpOnly(boolean). There should be an option to 
> use that in org.apache.tapestry5.services.Cookies. In 5.3.7 the default 
> implementation does not set the httpOnly flag.
