480881 - nsCookie getters can return null

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

STR:

1) Visit http://www.circusponies.com/ with a fresh profile.
2) Show cookies.

See bug 458539 for how this can affect embedding apps. I don't know how Firefox manages not to have this issue, but it seems to me like nsCookie shouldn't be allowing the various getters to return null in the first place. (It also seems to me like a site shouldn't even be able to set a cookie with a null name in the first place, but that's probably a different bug.)

Filing as UNCO for discussion amongst people far smarter than myself.

dwitte assures me the getters can't return null.
