Steve, The cookie with the path attribute "/insight" may certainly not be sent to a url starting with "/insightreporting". So, HttpClient's behavior is correct.
You can pursue one of three options to work the problem around. (1) If you do not mind using ALPHA software you can consider using HttpClient 3.0alpha1, which supports pluggable cookie policies (2) Fork HttpClient 2.0.1 and tweak its cookie policy(ies) to your liking (3) Disable automatic redirect, execute the first GET, iterate through the cookies in the HTTP state prior to executing the subsequent requests, find the session cookie and replace its path attribute Hope this helps, Oleg On Mon, 2004-08-23 at 22:54, Steve Johnson wrote: > Hi All, > > We have a URL that works in IE and Netscape, but the cookie is not getting sent > from HTTPClient. > > Here is the URL and the Set-Cookie > > https://was4.hewitt.com/insightreporting/reports/websitemonitoring > <https://was4.hewitt.com/insightreporting/reports/websitemonitoring> > > response header has this: > > Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=0000CQL00NOE2OHVJFC5I3I5YRQ:v0c153k7;Path=/insight > > The cookie path fails this logic in CookieSpecBase.java > > /** > * Performs a path-match slightly smarter than a straight-forward startsWith > * check. > * @param path The path to check. > * @param topmostPath The path to check against. > * @return true if the paths match > */ > private static boolean pathMatch( > final String path, final String topmostPath) { > > boolean match = path.startsWith (topmostPath); // Our example passes this > > // if there is a match and these values are not exactly the same we have > // to make sure we're not matcing "/foobar" and "/foo" > if (match && path.length() != topmostPath.length()) { > if (!topmostPath.endsWith(PATH_DELIM)) { > match = (path.charAt(topmostPath.length()) == PATH_DELIM_CHAR); // > Our example fails this, we > want /foobar to match /foo > } > } > return match; > } > > Is there a way to bypass this pathMatch() or specify another one? > > Thanks, > Steve > > Steve Johnson > Software Engineer > Mercury Interactive > 720 564 - 6532 > USA, Canada and the Americas > 720 564-6620 > Hours: M-F 08:00-17:00 MST (Mountain Standard Time) > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > <http://www.mercuryinteractive.com> http://www.mercuryinteractive.com > Looking for Answers to your SiteScope or SiteSeer questions? > <http://support.mercuryinteractive.com> > http://support.mercuryinteractive.com > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
