Hi,
The problem that this bug points out is that when a cookie is from a localhost and no domain is set, our implementation sets the default domain of the cookie to its uri.getHost() [1], (which is localhost here), and since the domain now does not contain .local, the cookie gets rejected.
Section 3.3.1 of RFC 2965[2] mentions that a domain should default to "effective request-host", where the effective host name is derived from a host name containing no dots by adding the string ".local" to it.
This patch proposes adding a .local to hosts not containing any dots.
