[erlang-bugs] Possible Bug in http:cookie_header(Url)

[Mike Ziebeck]

Hallo,

 using cookies with otp's http:request/1 I was missing
 a correct answer from http:cookie_header(Url). It returns
 {"cookie",[]} where http_cookie:cookies(HEADER, "/", [46|Host])
 returns [{http_cookie,[46|Host],false,Field,Value,
                       undefined,Expiration,"/",false,false,"0"}]

 Test case included.
 Best Regards
      mz.  

cookie_test() ->
    Url="http://google.de",
    Field="set-cookie",

    % 1st (cookies disabled) we ask URL twice and get 2 different cookies
    inets:start(),
    {ok,{_,H1,_}}=http:request(Url),
    Cookie1=proplists:get_value(Field, H1),
    {cookie_1,true}={cookie_1,(undefined=/=Cookie1)}, % get sure it is 
defined
    {ok,{_,H2,_}}=http:request(Url),
    Cookie2=proplists:get_value(Field, H2),
    {cookie_2,true}={cookie_2,(undefined=/=Cookie2)}, % get sure it is 
defined
    true=(Cookie1=/=Cookie2),                         % get sure both differ
    inets:stop(),
   
    % 2nd (cookies enabled) we ask URL twice and get a cookie only once
    inets:start(),
    http:set_options([{cookies, enabled}]),
    {_,_,Host,_,_,_}=http_uri:parse(Url),
    {ok,{_,H3,_}}=http:request(Url),
    Cookie3=proplists:get_value(Field, H3),
    {cookie_3,true}={cookie_3,(undefined=/=Cookie3)}, % get sure it is 
defined
    % ==================  This will cause an exception  
=======================
    CookieHeaderA=http:cookie_header(Url),             % test 
http:cookie_header
    CookieHeaderB=http_cookie:cookies(H3, "/", [46|Host]),
    {CookieHeaderA,CookieHeaderA}={CookieHeaderA,CookieHeaderB},
    % 
=========================================================================
    {ok,{_,H4,_}}=http:request(Url),
    Cookie4=proplists:get_value(Field, H4),
    {cookie_4,true}={cookie_4,(undefined==Cookie4)},  % get sure it is 
undefined
    true=(Cookie3=/=Cookie4),                         % get sure both differ
    inets:stop().

Results:

** exception error: no match of right hand side value

                     [{http_cookie,".google.de",false,"PREF",
