> We are using CookieUtils for reading some 3rd party cookies from the request. This cookies however contains '.' characters (in their names) and CookieUtils replaces all '.' with '..' So those cookies are not readable anymore.
> org.apache.wicket.util.cookies.CookieUtils#getSaveKey(String key) :
> {code:java}
> // cookie names cannot contain ':',
> // we replace ':' with '.' but first we have to encode '.' as '..'
> key = Strings.replaceAll(key, ".", "..").toString();
> {code}
> Why is '.' replaced with '..'? Is '.' in a cookie name forbidden character?
