Hey,
I am facing a very weird problem when trying to read a cookie who's
value has a colon.
The issue faced is that when a request is routed from a jsp the cookie
versions are messed up. But when the servlet is directly called the
versions are maintained as expected . Ive written a small test having an
index.jsp and a cookieservlet. When a call goes to index.jsp ,it simply
forwards the request to CookieServlet which then sets a value
(test:test:test) to a cookie. Ive explained in detail below.
*Please note* :For the request and response traces i've used fiddler and
the code is attached in this mail for reference.The following issue
happens very randomly on the browser and every single time when using
JMeter.
Please check and let me know if this is a bug with Tomcat?
*Issue Faced in Detail:*
When a call directly goes to index.jsp . You notice in the second
request the cookie is sent as version 0. Now in the application when I
try and read the value of the cookie it prints out the value as just
test and everything after the colon is truncated.
