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. cf. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hc-httpclient-users/201611.mbox/%3cada7a9443c47cc4e9c065e9c84c6891d71d0296...@ex01.ppinet.de%3E -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@hc.apache.org
