           Summary: WebKit does not follow tail-matching algorithm for
                    domain cookies
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned@lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: daniel.doubleday@gmx.net


My Server does (Javaish):

Cookie cookie = new Cookie("testcookie", "testvalue");
cookie.setDomain(".foo.com");
response.addCookie(cookie);

Problem:

Webkit (tested with Safari and Adobe AIR) does send this cookie to server
bar.foo.com but *not* to baz.bar.foo.com which I believe it should according to
the 'spec'.

>From http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
<snip>
When searching the cookie list for valid cookies, a comparison of the domain
attributes of the cookie is made with the Internet domain name of the host from
which the URL will be fetched. If there is a tail match, then the cookie will
go through path matching to see if it should be sent. "Tail matching" means
that domain attribute is matched against the tail of the fully qualified domain
name of the host. A domain attribute of "acme.com" would match host names
"anvil.acme.com" as well as "shipping.crate.acme.com".
