Hi Alex. Thanks for the prompt response - and the pointer to that thread.
It looks like we are facing the same issue as the original poster (Ben Herrenschmidt). As I read it, the subject was left last week with Ben offering to make a change to curl that adds a command line parameter to lift or relax the limit (as well as a separate discussion about how to support cookies split into multiple headers) Is there a way I can respond to the thread (from this email address)? I suspect that adding a new command line parameter as Ben suggests to an already crowded set will get some pushback - a CMakeLists/configure option might be more acceptable? Also, the length calculation issue we picked up was not discussed. - David -----Original Message----- From: Aleksandar Lazic <al-curllibr...@none.at> Sent: 06 June 2023 21:15 To: libcurl development <curl-library@lists.haxx.se> Cc: Chamberlin, David [Engineering] <david.chamber...@ln.email.gs.com> Subject: Re: Issues with new cookie length limits Hi David.

The was a length discussion about this topic last month, I'm pretty sure you will find in that thread your answer :-). https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://curl.se/mail/lib-2023-05/index.html*msg11__;Iw!!O2kDR7mm-zSJ!upD2KbAfkrsiFROk3s5Ek4phMpwKvvJuz8SDzg2y0vbTaET5LYXe1EZoqVveF0Mtat7tJfWtJ1WPBk72mg3ihGuWJSZR$ > -David Regards Alex ________________________________ Your Personal Data: We may collect and process information about you that may be subject to data protection laws.
