Hi all,

I'm looking for a bit of technical advice on IE 8 in use with GWT

After reading RFC 2109 http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2109/rfc2109
(section 6.3) it seems to say that cookies can be a maximum of 4kB in
size.

When using Google Web toolkit to set a cookie if the value is larger
than this size (Very unexpected I know) what is GWT's expected
outcome? Does it fail to set the cookie?

(After downloading the source code it doesn't seem to check any cookie
sizes)

Also what would Internet Explorer 8 do with the cookie does it attempt
to truncate the value stored in the cookie or does it ignore them
altogether?

I ask this as we currently have a system that sets cookies with a
fairly long value (nowhere near 4kb mind) and we have noticed that the
browser simply hangs and doesn't load the page.

Now this could in fact be a problem with our server setup hanging
rather than anything to do with the browser or GWT but I'm just
looking to dot the I's and cross the T's.

Many thanks to all,

Eggsy
