Description David Kilzer (:ddkilzer) 2010-06-28 10:33:42 PDT 
* SUMMARY
Setting a cookie using <meta http-equiv="Set-Cookie"> doesn't work in WebKit.  Some mobile phone vendor test suites apparently want this to work.

The HTML living standard was amended in <https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/3649> to indicate that the non-conforming Set-Cookie pragma should be ignored. Bug #185077 tracks removing support for this pragma (did we have any given the existence of this bug?). Resolving this bug as WontFix.

We do have logic for the parsing the Set-Cookie pragma: <https://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/dom/Document.cpp?rev=233473#L3372>.
