Bug#491150: errors on package description page
Package: libcgi-cookie-splitter-perl Version: 0.02-1 Severity: minor Hi! Thanks, Harka. As this description comes directly from the packgae I'm forwarding your message to a bugreport about it. Am Donnerstag, den 17.07.2008, 09:57 +0200 schrieb Harka Jinen: http://packages.debian.org/testing/perl/libcgi-cookie-splitter-perl RFC 2109 reccomends that the minimal cookie size supported by the client is 4096 bytes. This has become a pretty standard value, and if your server sends larger cookies than that it's considered a no-no. 2 things: 1.'reccomends' should be 'recommends' 2. More importantly, 'minimal' should in all likelihood be 'maximum'. Keep up the good work with the distro! So long, Rhonda signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

More importantly, 'minimal' should in all likelihood be 'maximum'. I'm not so sure about that point. RFC 2109 [0] says in 6.3 Implementation limits: Furthermore, general-use user agents should provide each of the following minimum capabilities [..] * at least 4096 bytes per cookie (as measured by the size of the characters that comprise the cookie non-terminal in the syntax description of the Set-Cookie header) [..] User agents created for specific purposes or for limited-capacity devices should provide at least 20 cookies of 4096 bytes, As I understand this section, minimal cookie size seems quite ok.

Hi Gregor, thanx for getting back to me.

OK, I'll take your word for it. But the package description sounds very contradictory in that case. I'd suggest changing it to avoid that impression. Have a great day!
