| Subject: | libhttp-cookies-perl: set_cookie doesn't append ".local" |
We have the following bug reported to the Debian package of
HTTP-Cookies (https://bugs.debian.org/788390):
It doesn't seem to be a bug in the packaging, so you may want to take
a look. Thanks!

Package: libhttp-cookies-perl
Version: 6.01-1
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer,
Several methods of the perl package HTTP::Cookies append ".local" at the
end of the domain where it doesn't contain a dot. add_cookie_header
performs the cookie lookup with the transformed domain ("localhost"
become "localhost.local"), and so does extract_cookies that parse the
response from the server.
But set_cookie, that allows the user to set an additional cookie by
hand, doesn't do this transformation. Thus, a cookie added to the domain
"localhost" won't be added to the request using add_cookie_header.
The fix should be as trivial as adding the following line in the
begining of the function set_cookie on line 380.
$domain = "$domain.local" unless $domain =~ /\./;
That way, the behavior of all the functions should be consistent.
Best regards,
Celelibi
