Summary: Cookie parsing issue
Product: Tomcat 5
Version: 5.5.26
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows XP
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Servlet & JSP API
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We've discovered an issue with the latest version of Tomcat 5 (5.5.25) & Tomcat
6 (6.0.16). The problem arises when doing base64 encoding of cookies in our
application. When the cookie is encoded, the '=' character is used for padding.
When it reaches the browser, the cookie is a valid base 64 encoded cookie and
the '=' character is the last character.
However when the application retrieves the cookies sent back from the browser
using a simple request.getCookie, we can see that the '=' char has been
stripped away. This results in a an error when trying to decode. It could be as
a result of the '=' being used as a delimiting character resulting in the
request headers being incorrectly parsed.
This is only an issues with the latest versions of Tomcat 5 & 6. Previous
version work ok.
