Re: [Simpleweb-Support] Safari cookie paths

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, Ill look in to it. One thing
I did notice is that few browser support RFC 2109
properly, even Netscape having written the spec did
not support max-age, and did not handle the path in
quotes. Seems now Safari does not support the max-age
suggestion in RFC 2109 either. Can't see the point in
specifications if they are not followed, anyway for
the problem you describe here you would have to do:


Cookie cookie = null;

for(Cookie c : state.getCookies()) {
   if(c.getName().equals(MY_COOKIE_NAME)) {
      cookie = c;
      break; 
   }
}

Not very convinient, should really be able to acquire
the array by name.
