HttpCookie.domainMatches implements RFC 2965 instead of RFC 6265

XMLWordPrintable

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      The domain matching is defined slightly differently in the new RFC 6265 which obsoletes RFC 2965. Only the latter is implemented in HttpCookie.domainMatches(...), though (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2965#section-3.3). Instead the rules from the newer RFC 6265 should be followed (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-5.1.3).

      The following example gives different results in those two RFCs with respect to domain matching:

      cookie-domain: example.com, current-domain: some.sub.example.com, this should be a match according to RFC 6265 but should be no match according to the old RFC 2965.
