Hi I'm using commons httpclient to perform a server side request, triggered by a client (a real browser). Once the server side request is done, I'm copying the server client cookies to the client one using response.addCookie(servercookie) : this works as expected, my client browser receives the cookies.
However, when this client browser performs another request (same page, same domain), when I display its cookies from its HttpServletRequest (so the Cookie is not a commons httpclient one, it's a javax.servlet.http.Cookie), then cookie.getDomain() and cookie.getPath() are always null ; but cookie.getName() and cookie.getValue() are ok. I understand why domain and path could be "treated as null", because if I receive the cookies name and value, then it means they were transmited for the correct domain and path, but this still puzzles me : why is javax.servlet.http.Cookies exposing getters for domain and path if the returned value is always a null ? Tested on jetty and tomcat. Hope someone can enlighten me :) thanks ! laurent -- <a href="http://in-pocket.blogspot.com";>http://in-pocket.blogspot.com - Mobile world, technology and more</a>
