[jetty-users] Simple question about cookies

[Silvio Bierman <sbierman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I am using Jetty 9.3 (embedded) and have very little experience with 
explicit cookie management. Now I am doing some basic testing and one 
thing strikes me as odd:

I use HttpServletResponse#addCookie to add a cookie. On that cookie I 
have set the following attributes:

domain=localhost.mydomain.com
path=/my/path/
name=nm
value=xxx
httpOnly=true
secure=true

When I check my browsers (Chromium and Firefox) they display the cookie 
with all the expected attributes. There is a dot-sign in front of the 
domain but for the rest all attributes seem to match.

On subsequent requests I use HttpServletRequest.getCookies to retrieve 
the cookie. There is a cookie with the expected name and value present 
but for some reason the domain and path attributes are missing.

Since both browsers behave exactly the same I think this is either 
expected behavior (be it not expected by me) or there is something wrong.

Are there any Jetty settings that might influence this behavior?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Silvio
