... instead of truncating them.
There's no fixed limit for acceptable cookie names in RFC 6265, but the
entire cookie is said to be less than 4096 bytes (section 6.1). This is
also what browsers seem to implement.
We now allow max 5000 bytes cookie header. Max 4095 bytes length per
cookie name and value. Name + value together may not exceed 4096 bytes.

Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2017-09/0062.html
Reported-by: Kevin Smith
Closes#1894
I found a bug which cURL sends cookies to the path not to aim at.
For example:
- cURL sends a request to http://example.fake/hoge/
- server returns cookie which with path=/hoge;
the point is there is NOT the '/' end of path string.
- cURL sends a request to http://example.fake/hogege/ with the cookie.
The reason for this old "feature" is because that behavior is what is
described in the original netscape cookie spec:
http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/cookie_spec.html
The current cookie spec (RFC6265) clarifies the situation:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-5.2.4
Consistently use CRLF instead. The mixed endings weren't
documented so I assume they were unintentional.
This change doesn't matter for curl itself but makes using
the tests with a proxy between curl and the test server
more convenient.
Tests that consistently use no carriage returns were
left unmodified as one can easily work around this.
Since the order of the cookies is sorted by the length of the paths,
having them on the same path length will make the test depend on what
order the qsort() implementation will put them. As seen in the
windows/msys output posted by Guenter in this posting:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-07/0105.html
"HttpOnly" feature introduced by Microsoft and apparently also supported by
Firefox: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533046.aspx . HttpOnly
is now supported when received from servers in HTTP headers, when written to
cookie jars and when read from existing cookie jars.
using one of the so-called 'right' time zones that take into account
leap seconds, which causes the tests to fail (as reported by
Daniel Black in bug report #1745964).
are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities
(e.g. & => & ). This will make it easier to validate test files using
tools like xmllint, as well as edit and view them using XML tools.
A) Normal non-proxy HTTP:
- no more "Pragma: no-cache" (this only makes sense to proxies)
B) Non-CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Pragma: no-cache" is used (like before)
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive" (for older style 1.0-proxies)
C) CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Host: [name]:[port]"
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive"
no fixed port numbers in use anymore. Starting now, the default ports the
servers use are 8990 - 8993. There's no option to modify these yet, but
changing the $base option in the top of the runtests.pl script.
