300050 - SOAP requests do not return cookies

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Web Services, defect)

Description

[Dave Wolfe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4

SOAP requests do not return cookies when either the cookie was already set for
the SOAP URI or when included in the HTTP headers of a SOAP response. The
demonstrating URL above is the lead-in page for a SOAP demo program. The
application server attempts to set a cookie named "BISKit" to identify further
requests (that return the cookie). Since the cookie is not returned for SOAP
requests, each response sets a new value for this cookie.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the demonstration URL and run the demo.
2. Monitor the HTTP headers and note that the BISKit cookie is never returned
with SOAP requests and changes value in every response.

Actual Results:  
No cookie is returned in the HTTP headers of SOAP requests even though a cookie
is set for the root directory of the server. Note that the demo is written to
not depend on the cookie being returned, so it still works even though a new
application server instance must be started for every request.

Expected Results:  
Applicable cookies should be returned in the HTTP headers just as they are for
any other HTTP-based request.

Tried on both Linux (Fedora Core 3) and Windows XP with Firefox 1.04 with the
same results.
