Bug 58973 – [Qt] Problem evaluating javascript function {document.cookie = 'name=value' } when a space ' ' character is present in the value string.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Platform

[Kiran Raikar]

This problem is reproducible in all Nokia Symbian Phones (we tested on N97 and N8) with Qt 4.6.3 to Qt 4.7.3 which contains the corresponding versions of QtWebkit. This can also be reproduced easily on Symbian S60 emulator.

Assume a Javascript call
m_webview->page()->mainFrame()->evaluateJavaScript ("document.cookie = 'favoriteTeams = ABC '");  //Working perfectly.

m_webview->page()->mainFrame()->evaluateJavaScript ("document.cookie = 'favoriteTeams = A B C '");//Not working due to spaces.In this case only the first character/string is getting saved in cookie and the strings after the space ' ' is ignored.

I can reproduce on trunk, I'll have a look.

After some digging:
1) this type of cookie seems invalid from the "spec"
2) the behavior comes for Qt parsing of Cookies with QNetworkCookie::parseCookies(): http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-18876

I keep this bug open but P5 in order to track the bug QTBUG-18876 of Qt.

Peter fixed the cookiejar for Qt 4.8. We should add a layout test in WebKit and close this bug.
