I use the Cookies class of GWT to generate cookies.
When I use the following
Cookies.setCookie(LOGIN_COOKIE_NAME, value, expires);
everything works fine. Checking the cookie in the browser leads to mydomay.com as it should.
But, when I use the following:
String path = "/"
String domain = "mydomain.com"
Cookies.setCookie(LOGIN_COOKIE_NAME, value, expires, domain, path, secure);
I can see a dot before the domain when I check it in my browser:
.mydomain.com
Where does the dot comes from?
It turns out that Cookies.removeCookie(LOGIN_COOKIE_NAME) does not work for me if .mydomain.com is given. Why is it not possible to delete this cookie when there is a dot in front?
