[ptt-users] subdomains & jcookie

[Dyer, Kevin]

Iehttpheader from blunck.info provides all the headers for both request and response. Live httpheaders for Firefox does the same. A quick java filter, if you're running an app server, can also log request and response headers. Or if you're a diehard geek then wireshark (fna ethereal) is the best tool for http traffic while the first two tools I mentioned work  for both http and https.

Cheers Geoff but I think I may have a larger problem then the TLDs.

 

For some unknown reason my domain and host change 80% down into the
execution. I can see this change when debugging via jCookie. In the browser
its fine but under Testmaker it isn't :-(. I loose the sub domain so for
example a domain like test.semerda.com becomes  <http://www.semerda.com/>
www.semerda.com

 

What program do you guys use to monitor the http/https transactions? I've
been using IE HTTP Analyzer.

 

Oh btw, I've updated the jCookie with the latest ICANN | Top-Level Domains
(gTLDs) (# Version 2007032501, Mon Mar 26 09:07:01 2007 UTC) - 266 current
TLDs vs 8 jCookie TLDs. If anyone wants the update jCookie with the 266
TLDs, the dist can be downloaded here:
<http://www.semerda.com/storage/jCookie.jar>
http://www.semerda.com/storage/jCookie.jar or build
<http://www.semerda.com/storage/jCookie.zip>

Ernest

The mail you refer to is about a tailmatch cookie exception.

 

This is because the jcookie library defines a list of acceptable host
top-level-domains (TLDs) like com, net, org etc.. It is by no means
extensive!

 

I solved all these problems for us by editing my own jcookie library and
recompiling it (easy to find the source on the web), with new TLDs. I also
turned bStrict off, because I got fed up of recompiling in the end :-)

 

Hope this helps,

Geoff

Is anyone else having problems with testing content under a secure (https)
subdomain eg. test.semerda.com and keeping cookies throughout the session? I
don't think my cookies are maintained as the page content under a secure
subdomain never shows up. The content is meant to appear only when a user is
say logged into the system I am testing. I'm not getting any error messages
I'm just assuming that this could be the cause.

When I manually step through the web page in my IE / Firefox it works fine
so it's not an issue with the service I'm testing.

 

Anyone else experienced issues with subdiomains and jcookies?

 

I found this in old messages.
