Re: [Webappsec] Cookie Secure Attribute - Clarification

I'll relook it but I'm quite sure it was. I checked the Firefox Cookie
Prefs where you can see the attributes, and it showed Secure there.
Can a cookie appear as Secure in Firefox but not be "secure"
otherwise? AFAIK No.

Thnx

Amongst all the different things that could go wrong, based on your
observations so far a first place to look is to determine for sure
whether the secure attribute is really being sent along with the
Set-Cookie header.

You could achieve this with a network sniffer (tcpdump, wireshark,
etc) or by using a firefox plugin like LiveHTTPHeaders.
