621912 - Cookie with quoted path is not stored

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 610218

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jakub Vrána]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b8

According to RFC 2109, it is possible to surround cookie path by quotes. Firefox 4 beta 8 however did not store such cookies. In Firefox 3, this worked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
document.cookie = 'test=1; path="/test/cookie.php"';
alert(document.cookie);

Actual Results:  
''

Expected Results:  
'test=1'

Hmm, on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b9pre) Gecko/20101229 Firefox/4.0b9pre ID:20101229030346 the Cookie Manager tells me

Name: test
Content: 1
Host: www.vrana.cz
Path: /test/cookie.php

I also see the cookie being set if I go to cookie manager in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b9pre) Gecko/20101229 Firefox/4.0b9pre ID:20101229030346

However, the alert(document.cookie); is showing up blank. Jakub -> is that the issue you are seeing?

The cookie in testing script is set by JavaScript. However the same behavior appears when the cookie is sent from the server.
