Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- I've run into some cookie interoperability problems between JServ and perl-based CGI programs that other people/projects in my company are using. The problem is that the JServ cookie parser is treating space as a separator, so a cookie header like: Cookie: foo=null; something=hello world; yow=ugh; does not seem to be interpreted correctly according to RFC2109. JServ servlets end up with a cookie "something" with value "hello" and a cookie "world" with no value. Looking at JServUtil.java, it appears that the use of StringTokenizer is the problem: StringTokenizer stok = new StringTokenizer(cookieHdr, "; "); I think the above does not mean "split up the string using semi-colon and space as a token separator." It means "split the string using either semi-colon or space as a token separator." Anyway, here's a patch that we've been using successfully for about two months. Sorry it took me so long to post it. cheers, -billo --- JServUtils.java Wed Jun 7 15:17:53 2000 *************** *** 162,174 **** if(cookieHdr == null || cookieHdr.length() == 0) return new Cookie[0]; !
