Description veera 2009-06-25 09:58:51 UTC 
It seems Tomcat has implemented the RFC standards in the latest version which doesn't allow "=" sign in the cookie value. But in our organization, we authenticate the user by an encrypted cookie. Its a different team which creates the cookie and it is being consumed by many applications. This cookie has the "=" sign in the value. We were fine until we used Tomcat 5.5.20. But when we want to upgrade to 6.0.18, we are facing issue and the funcationallity is completly broken. Is there any solution available.

Note: we cannot go ahead and ask to change the cookie value delimited by another notation now,as all the applications will get impacted.

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