Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 124043

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[Bob Stammers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

This site is accessed by ip only, no domain name, and sets a cookie

209.238.77.240	TRUE	/	FALSE	1600981098	axs_no_log	1

this cookie is recognised and used UNTIL mozilla is shutdown and restarted at
which point the cookie has apparently vanished.

In fact, cookies.txt still contains the entry, it's just not recognised again
when mozilla starts up.

Using a text editor to manually change the entry to

.209.238.77.240	TRUE	/	FALSE	1600981098	axs_no_log	1

causes it to be recognised and used again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit the url
2.Choose [Customize], u=leave blank, p=bb
3.Choose [Do not log my visits]
4.Shutdown mozilla
5.Restart mozilla
6.Visit the url and fail to be recognized as webmaster

Actual Results:  
6.

Expected Results:  
Header should have (Webmaster) in title.

See bug 124043 comment 4 (there should be a . before the ip address otherwise it
is considered an ip domained cookie) and bug 100682 (disallow ip domained cookie)

I don't understand why the cookie is stored in cookies.txt after reading above
bugs + comments.

Yes, above comment is correct.  This is close enough to 124043 that I am marking
it as a dup.
