I can see Set-Cookie in the responde headers yet the document.cookie property contains empty string for XHTML-document.
(I need to read cookies set by a server, hence sessionStorage is not a solution.)

Reproducible: Always

do the cookies get set at all (check, e.g., in the cookie manager)?

Comment 2

[Jaroslav Zaruba]

yes, I can see it in the manager

this should work, since xhtml docs are nsHTMLDocuments, and document.cookie is handled there. will look into this sometime.

if you have an xhtml document you can post as a testcase, that'd make things easier for me. also - you're using firefox 2, right? and document.cookie works for you in other pages?

I have read comment reporting this behaviour also on developer.mozilla.org.

OK, I can make the test-case later in the evening or tomorrow.

yes, I am using FF 2.0.0.11

I have checked it on two text/html serving sites, and the document.cookie works just fine with such documents.

Within the test-case XHTML-document that I have been preparing it works.
Now I just have to figure out where is the difference...
I am sorry.

In fact it now works even in the same document that did not work yesterday.
Nevermind...
I do apologize again.
