cookies don't stay in their jar #10

Open geluso opened 12 years ago

geluso commented 12 years ago

I can run the server and the client on my local machine. However, I have trouble logging in. It seems that things are not actually being added to my cookies.

Lines 272-273 in the lobby seem to try to write the session to the cookie, yet when I print the cookie to the console immediately after, I do not see the session within it. After logging in, I'm redirected to the bigapple room and prompted to log in again.

''' document.cookie = "session="+Auth.session+";path=/;domain=." + BROWSER + ";max-age=1086400"; console.log(document.cookie); '''

Anyone else having this trouble logging in on their local machines?

domain=." + BROWSER + "; should the leading period be there if you're hitting it from localhost?

Yeah, you're right. There's something wrong with the periods when using localhost. It seems that localhost behaves oddly because it isn't exactly a proper domain.

When I remove the domain attribute the cookie persists without any problems.

Stack Overflow conversation suggests omitting the domain when working with localhost, or creating some virtual hosts within apache to create a domain on our local machines.
