Senthil Kumaran <sent...@uthcode.com> added the comment: I tested setting cookies with ":" in the cookie name in both firefox and google-chrome. They both seem to allow and store the cookie with ":" in them. Firefox sent a request header like this:
Set-Cookie test:value=solution:is:he the cookie with name containing ; or , failed. The patched attached tries to silence the error with SimpleCookie. I am not sure how far it is going to help. I believe, we could just allow it from 3.3 onwards or create a new BrowserCookie class which is more lenient than SimpleCookie. As far I see, the allowing ":" in the Legalchars seem to have met with negative votes because it was not in RFC, but well it seems some kind of de-facto acceptable behaviour with browsers, so having from a new version may not cause any harm. +1 to that. I can modify the tests from the attached patch. ---------- nosy: +orsenthil _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2193> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
