393697 - Please provide support for RFC 2965 (Set-Cookie2 response headers)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 208985

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Ben Ramsey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6

I am working on integrating Set-Cookie2 support into the PHP engine with a setcookie2() function that will send proper Set-Cookie2 headers to the user agent. Currently, the only user agent I have found that supports RFC 2965 is Opera. I'd like to see Firefox adopt it, as well, perhaps leading the way to encourage all browsers to adopt it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Send a Set-Cookie2 header to the client like this:

Set-Cookie2: foo=bar; comment=This is a comment.; port="80,8080"; version=1


Actual Results:  
Set-Cookie2 is ignored.

Expected Results:  
Subsequent requests should send a Cookie header to the server like this:

Cookie: foo=bar; $Version=1; $Port=80%2C8080

In addition, depending on how I have set my security settings, I might receive a pop-up that asks whether I would like to accept this cookie. This pop-up would include the message "This is a comment." that gives me information about how the purpose of the cookie and how the server will use the information.
