Bug 161780 – REGRESSION(iOS 10): Video player does not send HttpOnly cookies; missing test coverage

• Component: Media
• Status: RESOLVED MOVED

Created attachment 288370 [details]
Adds the missing test coverage for HttpOnly cookies.

OS had a nasty bug in iOS 7.0.4, where cookies had been missing for requests send from VideoPlayers. (Original openradar: http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=5238098090786816; test script: https://www.bizify.me/test-if-your-ios-device-is-broken/)

This bug is back in iOS 10 (Visit: https://www.bizify.me/test-if-your-ios-device-is-broken/), though neither Safari nightly nor Safari Technology preview are affected.

This time however only the Javascript allowed cookies are send to the server, not the HttpOnly cookies.

This test coverage is missing in WebKit as well, because it also does not specifically test for HttpOnly cookies, which usually are excluded from client side Javascript.

Patch is attached to fix the test coverage at least, but should be fixed in iOS 10 ASAP as it makes authentication of users for Videos impossible again.

The underlying issue is a platform-related one, which is tracked in the Radars listed above. We'll have this bug represent the task of adding the test to LayoutTests.

I can also update this bug once the platform bug is fixed and available to test.

The fix for this issue was needed outside the WebKit project, therefore this is being resolved as 'Moved'.

This should now be fixed in shipping software.
