[patch] tailmatch() returns true for invalid host.
Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2013 16:14:18 +0900
Hello cURL hackers,
I noticed that the cookie tailmatch() function returns true if following
case:
- cookie comain is example.com or .example.com.
- hostname is abcexample.com
Because tailmatch() does not check whether the charactor of ab'c'example.com
position is '.'.
So, the current cURL receives/sends a cookie for invalid host.
RFC6265 4.1.2.3. The Domain Attribute says:
For example, if the value of the Domain attribute is
"example.com", the user agent will include the cookie in the Cookie
header when making HTTP requests to example.com, www.example.com, and
www.corp.example.com.
I think this says "the user agent DO NOT make HTTP request to abcexample.com
".
An attached patch fixs this problem.
