[google-appengine] Firefox 6 and Appspot Cookies
Does anyone here know what changed in how Firefox handles cookies from the appspot.com domain? I can't find anything in the release notes, although I'm not positive the change happened in version 6 (it might have been in an earlier version that I skipped). It appears that I cannot set a cookie with domain=.appspot.com When I do that, it doesn't show up in the list of cookies. I can set a cookie in a sub-domain of .appspot.com (domain=foo.appspot.com) but not on appspot.com itself. I understand why they would make it work this way, since appspot.com is practically a TLD. But it was handy that I could do it, because it allowed me to do some testing in development that I could not otherwise do. (I can give details if anyone cares.) What I was hoping is to find a way to tell firefox not to treat .appspot.com specially. Anyone know if that's possible? -Joshua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

Re: [google-appengine] Firefox 6 and Appspot Cookies
It's because appspot.com was added to the public suffix list of domains that modern browsers should not allow cookies to be set for: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/dns/effective_tld_names.dat?raw=1 On Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 8:53 AM, Joshua Smith joshuaesm...@charter.net wrote: Does anyone here know what changed in how Firefox handles cookies from the appspot.com domain?

Re: [google-appengine] Firefox 6 and Appspot Cookies
Thanks for the reference. I'll go over to stackoverflow and see whether anyone there knows of a work-around to whitelist an effective TLD...
