Product: Tomcat 5

Created an attachment (id=24248)
simple Maven2 web project to reproduce the error
Trying to do
response.addCookie(new Cookie("cookie0", myData));
where myData is a UTF-8 String retrieved through request parameter, all 5.5
versions after and including 5.5.26 produce the following ServletException
error:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Control character in cookie value, consider
BASE64 encoding your value
org.apache.struts.chain.ComposableRequestProcessor.process(ComposableRequestProcessor.java:286)
The instructions from http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding to
handle encodings correctly state:
- Set URIEncoding="UTF-8" on your <Connector> in server.xml
- Use a character encoding filter with the default encoding set to UTF-8
- Change all your JSPs to set the correct Content-Type (use <%...@page
contentType="mime/type; charset=UTF-8" %>)
Following these instructions I started out with vanilla installations of 5.25,
5.26, 5.27 and 5.28 on both Windows (Vista64) and Linux (Debian 5.0) using
jdk-1.5.0_12 with the only change from default configuration being the
URIEncoding set to UTF-8 in server.xml. By deploying the sample application
attached the error can be reproduced for 5.5.26+.
