Mathias, I know it is of little comfort to you but the cookie clearly violates even the most loosely defines HTTP security policies. At least the site seems to send the invalid cookie to MSIE (or any agent identifying itself as MSIE) only
I see three possibilities to solve the problem (1) I _assume_ that the host www.altavista.com may aslo have a DNS entry within the yahoo.com domain. See if can find it out and use it instead (2) provide a custom cookie policy. Unfortunately pluggable cookie policies are supported by HttpClient 3.0 only, which is still in ALPHA (3) Get HttpClient 2.0 source code and tweak it to your liking Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Mathias Cianci [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 10:38 To: Commons HttpClient Project Subject: Re: how to accept all cookies ? Thank you Oleg, now it works ! But I still have another cookie problem :-( Altavista have recently been acquired by Yahoo corp. When you make requests in atltavista.com, you're now transparently redirected to yahoo.com (whitch puts a cookie for the domain altavista.com), and then again to altavista.com. As a result of this redirection, I get this warning message : 21 juil. 2004 10:26:52 org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase processResponseHeaders ATTENTION: Cookie rejected: "B=f24p1390fsa6m&b=2". Illegal domain attribute ".yahoo.com". Domain of origin: "fr.altavista.com" How can I accept this cookie transparently ?
