Gregory Chanan created HADOOP-11443:
---------------------------------------
Summary: hadoop.auth cookie has invalid Expires if used with
non-US default Locale
Key: HADOOP-11443
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11443
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: security
Affects Versions: 2.5.0
Reporter: Gregory Chanan
Assignee: Gregory Chanan
The netscape cookie spec (http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/cookie_spec.html) does not
specify the language of the EXPIRES attribute:
{code}
The date string is formatted as:
Wdy, DD-Mon-YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT
This is based on RFC 822, RFC 850, RFC 1036, and RFC 1123, with the variations
that the only legal time zone is GMT and the separators between the elements of
the date must be dashes.
{code}
But RFC 822, lists the months as:
{code}
month = "Jan" / "Feb" / "Mar" / "Apr"
/ "May" / "Jun" / "Jul" / "Aug"
/ "Sep" / "Oct" / "Nov" / "Dec"
{code}
and some clients (i.e. httpclient) do not recognize Expires in other languages,
so it's best to just use US English (which is the only Locale guaranteed to be
supported by the jvm, see
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/javase/locale-140624.html).
