["Filip S. Adamsen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-47?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12664153#action_12664153 ] 

Filip S. Adamsen commented on TAP5-47:
--------------------------------------

So there is no way to turn this functionality off? I'm setting a cookie on a secured page that I need access to on subsequent insecure pages. With this change, it doesn't work anymore.

> 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.
