Maybe I wasn't clear, but that's also what I meant: The RFC does *not* mandate that expired cookies are stored. My understanding of the RFC was that it is up to the application to decide when to discard any expired (or even non-expired) cookies. Only, curl releases the application from this decision, which may be convenient for most but is unfortunate for this use case. > I could be persuaded to support such an option, but I would like some more > clarifcations! > > What is the actual use for outdated cookies? Why does the server expire the > cookies if you need them (and can use them) after they're expired? This requirement comes from ETSI 202 184 and I personally do not yet know the background of it. I have forwarded this question to the DTG who is in charge of it.
