>                 Key: TAP5-47
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-47
>             Project: Tapestry 5
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 5.0.15
>            Reporter: Martijn Brinkers

> A lot op applications are vulerable to a sniffing 'attack' even though
> SSL is used. The vulnerability is caused by allowing the cookie to be
> sent over http (the cookie is not a secure cookie)  
> See:
> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/11/cookiemonstor_rampage/
> My application always uses HTTPS because I have set
> MetaDataConstants.SECURE_PAGE to true. The cookie however is not a
> secure cookie because Tapestry does set the Cookie#setSecure attribute.
> What I would like is that Tapestry does sets Cookie#setSecure when
> SECURE_PAGE is true.
> It seems that tomcat does set the secure setting but not with Jetty.
