We use SUN Jersey client to consume some REST services and Apache CXF to serve some REST services, in the same java project. Some of the services we consume return cookies with "Expires" directive set. For eg: Set-Cookie: name=value; Expires=Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:18:14 GMT.
Consider the below code, assuming wr is a Jersey WebResource. ClientResponse is also a Jersey class. ClientResponse resp = wr.get(ClientResponse.class); System.out.println(resp.getCookies()) Now, in the case of cookies with expires directive, the actual cookie is not returned. Instead, the expires directive itself is returned as the cookie (cookie's name is Expires, value is the date). After some digging, we found that this might be due to the way the Set-Cookie HTTP header is parsed by CXF in the fromString method of org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.impl.NewCookieHeaderProvider. Basically, the code seems to handle "Expires" like a normal cookie and not as a special directive/metadata (it treats Max-Age and other directives correctly). Please help us solve this. Are we doing something wrong? -- View this message in context: http://cxf.547215.n5.nabble.com/Cookies-with-expires-directive-tp5649065p5649065.html Sent from the cxf-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
