There is a preinstalled filter in mod_security, called
SecFilterCheckCookieFormat.
If this is on, bugzilla is not working anymore due to a cookie problem, the
error message is:
Invalid cookie format: Cookie value is missing #2

Dave mentioned a probable cause:
".. override in Bugzilla::CGI to the Cookie code to stop Perl's 
CGI from complaining about the value being empty.."


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Severity: normal → critical
the correct way to do this is to set an expiration date in the past and throw
some dummy value in.

Attached patch HEAD Patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Expiration dates in the past are already in place, so this patch doesn't more
than supplying a dummy value.

Oh, and it fixes what I think is a copy-and-paste error of bug 201816 in
query.cgi along the way, where the expiration date of a particular cookie is in
the future where it should be in the past.

are you sure you mean to do this?

Deleting the cookie in query.cgi fixes the bug 201816 error I mentioned in
comment 2.

I'll look into deleting the SPLITHEADER cookie as well. Thanks for pointing that
out. It should work, I'd say.
Version: unspecified → 2.18
This patch rocks! Thanks so much for doing it, this is a big pet peeve of mine.

Patch 1.3

I love this patch, but I would like us to have separate API instead of
overloading send_cookie. Can we have $cgi->remove_cookie()? 

I'm okay if it calls send_cookie() internally, but I think the API change
should be explicit, not implicit.

I certainly don't agree that this bug needs to ba release blocker, though..
Attachment #187386 - Flags: review? → review-
Well, I guess the warning is a bit annoying.
Attached patch Patch 1.4 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Introducing remove_cookie.

The drawback is that calling send_cookie without -value gives undesired
results.

Nice cleanup. I have a question: should we not print a warning if no value is
supplied to this method, since it is now an error? If you think so and add
that, r=kiko.

Attached patch Patch 1.5 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This now throws a code error if -value is not given or empty. Any ideas how to
avoid the need for the @paramlist<->%paramhash conversion in both send_cookie
and remove_cookie?

Minor POD change, too.

Patch 1.5

I don't like the code duplication, either.

Ah, perhaps just changing remove_cookie to take a single argument, name, is
enough to solve this quagmire. I'll r+ a patch that does just that (supplying
-name is a bit silly!)

Maybe suggest using remove_cookie() to remove cookies, but that's a nit.
r=kiko, thanks!

Attached patch Branch patch 1.6Splinter Review
Cookies needing to have a value is not only related to cookie removal. The
SPLITHEADER cookie is such a case -- it was being set to either '1' or '' all
the time.

The 2.18.2 release is broken by this! I just updated and get 

Software error:

Can't find param named cookiedomain at Bugzilla/Config.pm line 150.
Flags: approval2.18+
Blocks: 300060
Just updated to 2.18.2 (via CVS using the "Bugzilla_Stable" tag) from 2.18.1. Corrected the problem by 
commenting out line 193 of "Bugzilla/CGI.pm".
Cookiedomain parameter was introduced in bug 254351 that was done to 2.20 only.
So in 2.18 branch patch references to this parameter should be simply removed.

This patch is not obsolete because it did get checked in, and needs to be
applied in addition to the followup patch, for anyone that's following along
manually.
