Hi Gisle,
while using HTTP::Cookies, I realized that it behaves differently than most
browsers do: If a cookie is being written to a "domain" which is actually a
hostname like in
Set-cookie: name=val; path=/; domain=www.aol.com
all major browsers will accept this pseudo domain and replay the cookie to
the hostname (like on http://www.aol.com). HTTP::Cookie, however, will store
the cookie's domain as ".www.aol.com" and therefore *won't* replay it on
http://www.aol.com.
Not sure if this is possibly even somewhat against the original cookie spec
-- but if you want HTTP::Cookie to be compliant with the major browsers, I
think line 340 in HTTP::Cookies.pm
$domain = ".$domain" unless $domain =~ /^\./;
has to be deleted. What do you think?
