> Browser vendors have adopted proposals to enhance the security of HTTP cookies. For example, the server can mark a cookie as {{Secure}} so that it will not be transfer via plain-text HTTP protocol, and the server can mark a cookie as {{HttpOnly}} to prohibit the JavaScript to access that cookie.
> This jira proposes to adopt these flags in Hadoop to protect the HTTP cookie used for authentication purposes.
