Ie8 cookie handling

hi, I have a hp compaq 3.0 hertz w/ 1 gig of memory, windows xp pro. ie8, firefox, and opera & chrome... I use chrome or firefox for facebook, seems during gaming my pc slows way down, I check for cookies and ie8 is loaded everytime..
and again, ie8 is not being used at the time, on the privacy settings I have both settings set to block all cookies.. question is.. how do I stop ie8 from collecting cookies when ie8 is not being used?? Thanks, this has been a thumper for me for
a few months now..

Hi,
test in noAddons mode....
or
Start>Control Panel>Flash
configure your Flash installation not to collect information.
XP is no longer supported.
Post consumer questions about IE to http://answers.microsoft.com. Include with your questions the FULL link to any websites or web pages that you are having issues with.

11503 and SSL Termination - Cookie Handling

I'm looking for some insight on how the 11503 handles SSL termination,
specifically with regard to cookie handling. We are going to be
installing a 11503, so it can handle load balancing, content switching
and SSL termination instead of IIS / WLBS. If you move SSL termination
off of the Web servers and disable SSL in IIS, how does ASP.NET handle
secure cookies? We want to set requireSSL="true" in Web.config, but
since the Web server will no longer be running SSL, it won't enforce
that attribute. I was wondering if the content switch passed any
special header to IIS, or if the content switch can be configured to
add the secure attribute to all cookies. I haven't found anything in
the documentation so far.

Depending on your software version, this page has links to CSS SSL configuration Guides based upon the software you're running.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/contnetw/ps792/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html
You can configure the CSS to issue cookies in place of the actual server.

FireFox 19.02 Cookie Handling Changes prevent users from blocking or allowing cookies?

Prior to 19.0.2, I could specifically decide exactly how a site deposited cookies on my machine. When I visited a 'new' site, FireFox sprung open a pop-up window that allowed me to choose "Block", "Allow for Session" or "Allow". That doesn't appear anymore.
Also, for at least one site, FireFox won't adhere to my chosen handling preference: "Twitter dot com" will not accept the "Allow For Session" designator. I've NEVER allowed any site to set cookies past session's end, and prior to 19.0.2 Twitter had the "Allow for Session" designation. Now, however, Twitter FORCES FireFox to "ALLOW" cookies; when I manually enter "Allow for session" Firefox won't take it! FireFox immediately changes that to "ALLOW" status.
Why was the very nice pop-up cookie handling routine disabled in FireFox 19.0.2, and is there any way to get it back? This new FireFox is making me unhappy.

Thanks!
The Big Question remains:
Why did FireFox change the Cookie handling routine? I want my decision-making pop-up Cookie-handling box back!
"Allow This Site to Set Cookies?" [Click Option]
"Block" "Allow" "Allow for Session"
Also, a tiny check box: "Remember this setting"
Taking that away? Bad form, FireFox!

IS cookie handling in the Sun jvm automatic like the microsoft JVM?

Hi,
I am moving from a micrsoft JVM to the sun JVM. I am dealing with cookies. It appears that the microsoft JVM Wininet URL handler automatically handles cookies. Does Sun's do that for more current versions?
thany you,

It stores cokies, yes.
In JDK5 there was an API added which even allows you to control cookie handling yourself.

By the way, JDK6u10 us currently in BETA, it offers many enhancements on desktop, give it a try:

Siebel Testing. Cookie handling, cookie load balancing and authentication.

We are delivering a PoC in a big Siebel customer and we are finding some issues.
Environment information is:
- Siebel testing, version 8.
- NTLM Windows authentication.
     When we create a Siebel Load script, recording works fine. Replaying the script, after adding the Authentication function, does not work
     When we create a Web Load Script with the same structure and business process, after adding the Authentication function, it works.
     Looking at the difference between Web and Siebel scripts, only difference are a couple of cookies that Web script considers and Siebel does not. This two cookies are added in the second call of the NTLM handshake requests (two requests with 401 http code and a final with a 200 http code). The application, in the first NTLM handshake request, ask the browser to add a couple of cookies that the browser (and OLT in a web load script) add. Siebel load script does not add/handle this cookies.
     Accordingly, the script works with web module but does not work with Siebel module.
Right now we only have two options to make Siebel work:
- Change the DNS address to point to a single node for the application, instead of pointing to the load balancing service. This way, cookies are not needed and the script does not fail.
- Add the cookies by hand. This way, cookie content is "hardcoded" and, so, it will not be useful for load balancing purposes, which lead us to previous bullet. Load testing using Siebel will not work load balanced.
I added a web script (works fine with no tweaking) and a Siebel script executed with normal configuration (does not work) and workaround (avoiding the load balancing cookies- it works).
Many thanks for the help,
Iván.

Álex,
Thank you a lot, I will call you related to other issue also. Thanks for the kind help!.
IMHO, it works or not depending on cookies added for load balancing. Siebel module does not specifically add these cookies, while web module does. If you delete the cookies from the web module, it stops working, so I guess the cookies are making/breaking the script.
I will send you the scripts, so you can have a look.
Thanks,
Iván.

Cookie handling & navigation across multiple BSP applications

Hi All,
This is my scenario...
I have a main BSP application (say YYYY) which is the user login application. The application class is ZCL_YYYY. This application will enable the users to login. This application will show up the list of other applications say (application AAA - class ZCL_AAA, appln BBB-class ZCL_BBB, etc). User can click on the application and navigate.
I am storing the password in server side cookie and during navigation to other application from my main application I am passing the user id in the URL (like http://....htm&user=mmmm). The other application will validate the user id against the server side cookie and then proceeds further.
I tried using client side cookie but it is working only with in single application but not across applications (I used response->set_cookie in initialization event of main bsp appln and request->get_cookie in the called application in request event).
Is there a better way in handling this navigation??.
My issue is sometimes(very rare cases but still an issue) when the traffic is more, one user is gets the other user's screen, that is when two users click application AAA at the same time, both the users are getting the same information (which is different for different users).
Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
Krish

Thanks Raja & Raja...
In my scenario, the user logging in is the customer (KNA1-KUNNR). All the BSP application are going to come in with the same SAP user id which is set in SICF. For SAP transaction user id is going to be SAP-WEB user.
The user logs in with the customer number as user id (we have web users for KNA1 created using SU05). The first will be the login screen where the customer enters his number and password. The user id and pwd is validated and then the list of applications page will get displayed (as far as SAP is concerned, the transaction is going to come in with SAP-WEB user id). Once the application is clicked, the password is stored in server side cookie like.. (since SAP user id is going to be same across it was passed as NONE)
call method cl_bsp_server_side_cookie=>set_server_cookie
    exporting
      name                  = v_customer
      application_name      = 'NONE'
      application_namespace = 'NONE'
      username              = 'NONE'
      session_id            = 'NONE'
      data_value            = v_pwd
      data_name             = 'NONE'
      expiry_time_rel       = 300.
In the called application, the cookie is retrieved (it should be with in 5 minutes) and validated again with customer id from the URL. If there is an issue in validation, navigation will go to login page again.
Thanks,
Krish

CSS Cookie Handling

Anyone know of a way to configure the CSSs to handle dynamic server written cookies? Basically I have two DMZs which are each load balanced with a pair of CSSs. When using arrowpoint cookies on both pairs to keep session, I think one is overwriting the other or it's not writing the second cookie because the CSS cookie (ARPT) already exists. The app servers write a cookie so I could key off that but it's dynamic and I only see how to configure to read other cookies if the content is static. Anyone know how to make the second pair of CSSs write arrowpoint cookies with a different name or how to configure it to read dynamic cookies written by a server? TIA

Well, I was close to finding the answer on my own. Should've spent more time reading and less time posting. LOL
Arrowpoint cookie names can be changed with the "arrowpoint-cookie name" command.
A hash can be run on a cookie as opposed to an absolute value with the "string operation" command.
Cheers!

Problem in cookie handling using CookieManager java1.6

Hi all...
I found that there is a no cookies are catched from http response for some web sites are requested by using CookieManager() in jdk1.6.
following is source code where i test this case....
import java.io.;
import java.net.;
import java.util.*;
public class Fetch {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
String urlString = "http://www.google.com";
//urlString = "http://apps1.ubs.com/locationfinder/searchForm.do?GeoEntityId=1&GeoEntityType=1";
CookieManager manager = new CookieManager();
manager.setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL);
CookieHandler.setDefault(manager);
URL url = new URL(urlString);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
if (connection instanceof HttpURLConnection) {
HttpURLConnection httpUrlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) connection;
httpUrlConnection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
httpUrlConnection.connect();
BufferedReader bufferedReader
= new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
httpUrlConnection.getInputStream()));
StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
String line = null;
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuffer.append(line);
stringBuffer.append("\n");
System.out.println(stringBuffer.toString());
CookieStore cookieJar = manager.getCookieStore();
List<HttpCookie> cookies = cookieJar.getCookies();
for (HttpCookie cookie: cookies) {
System.out.printf("\nCookie: %s%n", cookie);
}It is working well using for google web site but not working for ubs.com. i give the requested page in variable urlString remove the comment at lineno 8 after finish the normal test. It will not print any cookies for this website..But i found Cookies for both web site using httprequesttracker.

please give some idea for solve this problem....

You are using Firefox 2.x, so i think that the cookie for the usb.com website is no http cookie, it's probably a "DOM Storage"
(if you use an actual IE instead, then the "Set-Cookie" lines may stay anyway then it will be the "userData behavior" feature of MS).
They both are looking similar to http-cookies because they are a kind of cookie too, but with another (more common) format.
I'm not so familar to their format, so it is only an assumption (maybe another can affirm or disprove this), but i remembered that
DOM Storage and userData behaviour Cookies were designed to manage persist data across multiple browser sessions -
and on the usb.com website it is indeed starting a session (JSESSIONID=0000vHz5HlsSRtRwAgUVx0Il0oW).
(To be sure, that this is a DOM storage you have to watch the behaviour of this cookie and the server, or you can watch the
size of this cookie over a longer periode, if it grows much greater than 4KB it is one (DOM Storage and userData behavior can
grow of up to nearly 6 MB), or the easiest way if you can login, do it and look if you are logged in the next day, too)
So there is no problem with the CookieManager() in java1.6, that is only providing "HTTP cookie management"
(see CookieManager and CookiePolicy), while ListCookieHandler seems to be a more common approach.

Redistributable Cookie-handling library?

Hi,
I'm attempting to create an authentication library that can be imported into any of our web applications to ensure that the user is logged in properly. I've written samples using JSF and plain JSP technologies already, but I want a library that will do all of the work. In the webpages I just want a simple function call to make sure a user is authenticated.
My problem comes in when I try to manipulate Cookies in a regular java library project. I am not aware of the location of a Cookie class that is accessible to jar files (I don't know much about Java to begin with)... Is it possible to send an array of Cookies to a library and search for certain values amongst the cookies? Would I have to grab the array of Cookies in the webpage, iterate through the cookie names/values, and send the library an array of strings or something?
Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
wheaties.box

The Cookie class is part of the J2EE API (specifically, the Servlet API). You need that on your classpath in order to compile code that uses the Cookie class.
Different J2EE servers have the Servlet API JAR file in different places. For example, in Tomcat 5.5 it's in TOMCAT/common/lib/servlet-api.jar. For JBoss 4.0 it's JBOSS/server/default/lib/javax.servlet.jar.
Find the JAR file for your J2EE server, and make sure it's on the class path.

Cookie handling in jersey 2.0

Hi All,
I have moved from jersey 1.0 to 2.0. In jersey 1.0 Client I was using the following snippet to persist session cookies :
ApacheHttpClientConfig config = new DefaultApacheHttpClientConfig();
config.getProperties().put(ApacheHttpClientConfig.PROPERTY_HANDLE_COOKIES, true);
Is there any mechanism to do the same in jersey client 2? I tried the below but it doesnt persist the cookies:
ClientConfig clientConfig = new ClientConfig();
clientConfig.property(ApacheClientProperties.DISABLE_COOKIES, false);
Do we need to create a RequestFilter to do the same?
Any sample will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance,

Cookie Handling

Hi,
I am using JQuery to slide (animate) in a hidden div which displays a message with 2 'a' links. Clicking one 'a' link closes the box animating it out and that works 100% perfectly. What I have done is swapped the 'a' links for link buttons which obviously
post back annoyingly but I use the onClick event to create a new cookie, expire in 1 day, set the domain and the value 'shown = 1'. If I look in Firefox 31 I can see the cookie exists exactly how it should and on form load, I am checking for this cookie &
the value 'shown=1', however, it finds the cookie but always returns nothing (null) no matter what I do. On the Microsoft site plus there are examples for cookie handlin all over the net but no matter which method of trying to read this 'shown=1' it returns
nothing. If shown=1 then I don't wish to display that hidden div unless the cookie has expired. If I upload the code and try visiting the page with my phone or someone else checks for me the div shows each time as it's not returning that value.
Example:
Dim c As HttpCookie = Request.Cookies("MyCookieName")
That give an object not set for an instance of an object error
Dim c As HttpCookie = New HttpCookie("MyCookieName")
or
If Request.Cookies("MyCookieName") IsNot Nothing Then...
Dim strCookieValue as String = String.Empty
strCookieValue = c.Values("Shown").ToString
Return strCookieValue ' returns nothing
If I say:
Dim strCookieValue As String = "Hello, World!"
strCookieValue = c.Values("Shown").ToString
Return strCookieValue ' returns 'Hello World' which proves it's not getting the value from the cookie.
If I try different things like Integer/Boolean still the same result.
In Form Load:
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
           If String.IsNullOrEmpty(MyBooleanFunctionHere) Then
                Dim sKey As String = "SomeKey"
                Dim jst As String = "<script>myJSFunctionHere();</script>"
                ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), sKey, js)
               Call Sub to create cookie
            Else
                Set expiry date Date.Now.AddDays(1)
             End If
End If
What am I doing incorrectly?

Hi,
Maybe this issue depends on how you generate and save that cookie.
You could check
ASP.NET Cookies Overview.
I found that there is quite a lot limitations for cookies, like Limiting Cookies to a Folder or Application
To limit cookies to a folder on the server, set the cookie's Path property, as in the following example:
Dim appCookie As New HttpCookie("AppCookie")
appCookie.Value = "written " & DateTime.Now.ToString()
appCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)
appCookie.Path = "/Application1"
Response.Cookies.Add(appCookie)
Note:
You can also write cookies by adding them to the Cookies collection directly as shown in earlier examples.
The path can either be a physical path under the site root or a virtual root. The effect will be that the cookie is available only to pages in the Application1 folder or virtual root. For example, if your site is called www.contoso.com, the cookie created
in the previous example will be available to pages with the path http://www.contoso.com/Application1/ and to any pages beneath that folder. However, the cookie will not be available to pages in other applications such as http://www.contoso.com/Application2/
or just http://www.contoso.com/.
Honestly, I am afraid that this forum is not for web development issues, and since there are more communities who are familiar with web development specially issues with cookies in asp.net forum, I would recommend you post this issue in
https://forums.asp.net forum to get supports.

Enabling custom cookie handling kills facebook dropdowns

Hi,
I'm using firefox for several years, but recently i discovered a weird effect on one of my computers, which was consistent across many FF versions (up to the recent version 17 now).
All drop down menus on facebook were not working for me. On one pc I can click on the red globe, and a menu opens - while on the other pc nothing happened. Now I was able to reproduce it.
As soon as I activate the "ask how long cookies are stored" option in the privacy settings, the drop down menus wont work/show. Choosing the default "Keep them as long as they are valid" reenables the drop down menus.
I really like the cookie storage time option so i can decide which website will remember me.

I have been having this same problem too. I've tried disabling all my add-ons/plugins, but it hasn't helped. I added back just Java, but that did not help. I have also added an exception for facebook and pixel.facebook.com, no dice. It does work correctly in my IE.
I have also run malware scans (GMER), nothing shows up. If I set it back to remember history, removing the custom options, it works.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Third Party Cookies and Safari's handling thereof...

So now that I'm having to use Safari, I'm getting all my regular sites set up, and when I attempt to access my credit union's "bill pay" feature, it won't work because I have the setting set to block cookies "From third parties and advertisers". The only other options are "Always" and "Never".
Is there no "Exceptions LIst" where you can tell it to accept cookies from specific "thirdy parties" (such as the "Bill Pay" service my credit union uses)?
Isn't there a way to get Safari to "ask" if you want it to accept cookies? That's what I was used to with Firefox. It would ask for each website and if I wanted it, I'd click yes.
Doesn't Safari have anything similar?

Downloaded and installed it, but it doesn't seem to have any affect on the "third party cookies" problem. I go to the "bill pay" section of the credit union website and it just shows a blank page.
So do I have to set Safari to "ALWAYS" accept third party cookies no matter what, and then use this other program to delete the hundreds that will be accepted that I don't want? That seems very cumbersome. As a long-time Mac user, I am sort of shocked at how little thought seems to have gone into cookie-handling. I would also figure someone might have written an "extension" to give more user control over how cookies are dealt with.
Safari has frustrated me greatly so far. There have been other issues as well, such as some "embedded" videos on some webpages just don't even show up,..there is nothing clickable to "make it load" or anything...just a blank spot on the page. Other webpages formats are completely screwed up by Safari...it puts text and headers in wrong places, and won't display some pages at all.

Safari third party cookies

As one of the few user who still uses hotmail, I've got a problem with Safari logging me out on live.com.
I have chosen to accept only cookies from site I navigate to, thus blocking cookies from third party websites.
Now, for logging out on live.com, it seems to be necessary to ALWAYS accept cookies, including third party cookies.
Hotmail uses cookies from passport.com, not live.com, for tracking whether you have already logged out or not.
This is quite annoying, for I can't properly log out without temporarily changing my cookies settings.
Is there any way (preferences, terminal, application, ...) to custom accept cookies?
So I can still block third party cookies, but always allow cookies from passport.com?
I know this is a standard functionality of Firefox and even IE, why is it missing in Safari?
I'm using Safari 5.1 on osX 10.7.1
Thanks in advance,
Gert Milis

Downloaded and installed it, but it doesn't seem to have any affect on the "third party cookies" problem. I go to the "bill pay" section of the credit union website and it just shows a blank page.
So do I have to set Safari to "ALWAYS" accept third party cookies no matter what, and then use this other program to delete the hundreds that will be accepted that I don't want? That seems very cumbersome. As a long-time Mac user, I am sort of shocked at how little thought seems to have gone into cookie-handling. I would also figure someone might have written an "extension" to give more user control over how cookies are dealt with.
