Bug ID: 55951
Summary: HTML5 specifies UTF-8 encoding for cookie values
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: trunk
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Connectors
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: jboy...@apache.org
The HTML5 specification is specifying that cookie values may contain characters
that are not part of US-ASCII or ISO-8859-1 and that those codepoints should be
UTF-8 encoded for display.
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/single-page.html#cookie
This will result in 8-bit high values in cookies that need to be accepted and
set.
This will also require special encoding to handle conversion to the UCS-16
characters used by the Java String used to represent the value in the Cookie
class.
