Ole SH created HTTPCLIENT-1788:
----------------------------------
Summary: Cookies for paths that are no prefix of the uri path are
rejected (using CookieSpec Standard)
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1788
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1788
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 4.5.2
Reporter: Ole SH
Priority: Minor
Using CookieSpec Standard if a response to a http request to http://.../abc
contains a cookie for the path /def this cookie is rejected by httpclient. This
is the correct behavior in case of [RFC
2109|https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt] (cf. HTTPCLIENT-1043). But [RFC
6265|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265] (as far as I know) does not state
that a cookie path must be a prefix of the request uri path. In 8.6 it is even
mentioned as a "security problem" that 'an HTTP response to a request for
http://example.com/foo/bar can set a cookie with a Path attribute of "/qux"'.
I know that I can workaround my problem by using a custom cookie policy. I just
wondered if this behavior of httpclient is correct with respect to RFC 6265.
