Bug 21021 – Session cookies are not send back to server - regression to Safari 3.1 (525.x)

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: New Bugs

[Thorsten Dencker]

Hello,

we found a regression in 528.1.1 on windows (Safari 4) in the cookie handling. It works fine with 525.x (Safari 3). I did not test it on MAC yet.

Our session cookie isn't send back to the server if only the host name is admitted in the url. 
* If you start the application with http://mycomputer:1080/myappl the cookie isn't send back to the server. 
* If you use a full qualified name like http://mycomputer.apple.com:1080/myappl it works fine.

This bug is very critical because in normal intranet scenarios you are not using full qualified domain names.

You find a small example in the attachment. Deploy it to a J2EE engine e.g. tomcat, start it with full qualified and non qualified address, press the button and check if the session id appears. 

For easier tracking our internal bug number is 0003634917 2008

Regards Thorsten

This bug is likely to be in closed source Apple frameworks, because cookie handling is implemented there. I can move the bug to bugreport.apple.com for you if you wish, but Apple engineers working on it won't be able to get back to you unless you file it there yourself.

Please let us know if you do this, and post the Apple bug ID here (a seven digit number).

Thank you!

Now closing as INVALID per our process, as this is unlikely to be a bug in open source WebKit. It will be investigated internally by Apple engineers.
