Re: [httpclient] Constructing Cookies with null domains (again)

[Scott Rogers]

This is a 'Cookie Dump' of a servlet running on WebLogic 6.1.

Does this mean the cookie domain is null?

Here is the code that generated it..

    public static String dumpCookies( HttpServletRequest request)
    {
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

        sb.append("\n########Cookies in Reques########################");
        Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();

        for( int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++ )
        {
            sb.append("\nName: " + cookies[i].getName() );
            sb.append("\nValue: " + cookies[i].getValue() );
            sb.append("\nDomain: " + cookies[i].getDomain() );
            sb.append("\nPath: " + cookies[i].getPath() );
            sb.append("\nComment: " + cookies[i].getComment() );
        }

        sb.append("\n########End of Cookies in Reques#################\n");
        return sb.toString();
    }
