Cookie rejected





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-12-09 07:17 -------
Please ignore my last comment about the cookie parsing. I mixed up
the cookie domain and the host. The cookie is parsed correctly, the
problem lies with the hostname.

However, I do wonder whether there is some redirect involved. If
sourceforge.net sends a redirect to www.sourceforge.net, the redirect
is chased by HttpClient, and www.sourceforge.net sends a cookie for
domain .sourceforge.net, will that cookie be verified against host
sourceforge.net or against host www.sourceforge.net?

I'm just guessing here. I don't have a sourceforge account to verify
the behaviour. I just find it hard to imagine that browsers actually
accept a cookie outside of the host's domain. Browser makers have
gotten a lot of public beating for security bugs lately, and I'd
consider this to be one.
