Description Mark De Vries 2008-11-10 07:24:16 UTC 
Hello,

I have the following Problem:

I set a Cookie with a value such as (without the quotes):
"USERID=mark.devries@rtfm.net|SESSIONID=0B626AB7E5DA538D12BE296F90126BED|EXPIRES=1226326772293|KEY=key1|HASH=vXGIbxWxumu+9caKlGxdaA=="
This is the cookies value only.

Setting and reading of this cookie works fine on Tomcat 5.5.25 and 6.0.18.

If i use Tomcat 5.5.26 or 5.5.27 the Cookies value is cut off after the first "=" character, so all my application receives is (without the quotes)
"USERID"

What confuses me is: if it only worked due to a Bug in 5.5.25 then why would it work in 6.0.18 again which afaik has the same Bugs fixed which were fixed in the version Jump from 5.5.25 to 5.5.26 .

Is this a Bug or am i trying to do something which isn't allowed due to security constraints.

Best Regards

This is a question for the users list - or just search the archives.

Since 6.0.24 there is a configuration option, that allows '=' in the cookie
value. See
