Hi,
I hope this is the right place to ask this question. If not I apologize and
please let me know where to post this instead.
I am confused about the setting and getting of cookie values. Could someone
of the dev team shed a light on this? The question is, why does the cookie
value get urlencoded before setting the header field but NOT decoded when
receiving the cookie back?
Here it's set (CookieTools.java):
buf.append(URLEncoder.encode(name));
buf.append("=");
maybeQuote(version, buf, URLEncoder.encode(value));
And in Cookies.java it is read like this
sc.getValue().setBytes( bytes, startValue, endValue-startValue);
and set later in Ajp13Request.java
ServerCookie scookie = cookies.getCookie(j);
Cookie cookie = new Cookie(scookie.getName().toString(),
scookie.getValue().toString());
We realized this change of behaviour after changing from JServ to Tomcat
4.0.3. Suddenly or code failed because we set a cookie value that was used
to come back as-is. With Tomcat it now comes back urlencoded and we have to
place a decode around each Cookie.getValue() call to fix our code.
Is this intentionally?
Kind regards,
Lars
