275090 - cookies not set under "preferred" method.

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[shea]

while developing a website using PHP, i was needing to set a cookie.  my PHP
function that i normally use looks like this:

setcookie("cookie_name",$cookie_value,time()[phone],"","." . $domain, 0);

...this normally sets a cookie whose domain is ".whatever.com".  (note that the
domain starts with a "." to indicate that this is a universal cookie).  while
this preceeding "." is NOT required, it is the "preferred" method as described
by microsoft for their IE.

while this preferred method is completely accepted by firefox for windows,
firefox for mac does NOT appear to allow cookies to be set using this
"preferred" method :(  

again, this problem only occurrs in firefox for mac osx.  (as i was able to
confirm it DOES work correctly for firefox for windows.)

please feel free to contact me should you have any additional questions.

rock on,

shea
