Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

[Giacomo Magnini]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050328 Fedora/1.7.6-1.2.5

When surfing a site which tries to set some cookie, select Tools -> Cookie
Manager -> Allow Cookies from this Site. Now cookies are accepted from that
site, but not from subdomains.
Open the Cookie Manager, enter the domain and click Allow: now cookies are
accpeted even from subdomains, but the Cookie Manager will show two identical
entries in the allowed sites list.
Remove both entries and using just the cookie manager, add the domain: cookies
are now accepted from subdomains. And just one rule.
Now, I'm not sure if the bug is the nonequivalence of the menu entry vs. cookie
manager, or the missing visual difference in display of 2 different rules...

Reproducible: Always

How do the entries that seem to be the same look in hostperm.1 (in your profile
dir)?

Bogus report: they actually *are* different in cookie manager, one for
www.site.com (created by the menu entry) and the other for site.com (created
with cookie manager). IMHO, this is correct and consistent. Sorry for bugspam! :(
That happens when you try to help people with bugzilla without verifying
yourself the bug. Marking INVALID?
