Cookies not set with response.sendRedirect?

["Warnken, Jens" <Je...@IZB-SOFT.de>]

Hi there,

I tried out Tomcat 3.1and code that worked fine with 3.0 does not do anymore
what it should. I have a servlet that checks if the browser allows cookies.
The servlet sets a cookie and then sends a redirect to itself to check if
the cookie is set. Does not work anymore with 3.1: the cookie is never
found. As the bug tracking system is not online at the moment I have to ask
here. Can anybody confirm this problem? Somebody working on it?

Thanks in advance,

Jens Warnken

Yes, I've had the same problem with 3.1.  Supposedly it's fixed in the
nightly build, but I haven't verified it.

This is the response email I received:

> Tomcat should send cookies down when servlets use redirects -- sending the
> browser to a different location.
>
> Right now this does NOT happen.
>
> More detail:
> The method HttpServletResponseFacade.sendRedirect clears the headers,
which
> includes the cookies.
>
> Solution:
> ResponseImpl.reset() needs an option (flag maybe) so cookies may be kept.

> I hacked a fix for myself to enable quick integration into future releases
> of Tomcat, but I would spend time implementing a more elegant fix if there
> is interest in fixing this bug.

This bug has been fixed in the current nightly builds of Tomcat 3.2dev,
and
will be fixed in the final release.
