> Works in Chrome. Hmm, looks like Chrome isn't respecting the Public suffix list for setting cookies ATM, even though the site for the list claims that it does.[0] For an example, view [1] and [2] in Chrome, and note that cookies set by [1] are viewable by [2] even though this shouldn't be allowed given blogspot's entry in the public suffix list. Firefox doesn't exhibit this behaviour, and I'm thinking this is a recent regression in Chrome, but who knows. > Also look at translate.googleusercontent.com, if you bomb it, Google Translate will stop working. I haven't taken a look at it, but would it make sense to add dynamic <original>.translate.googleusercontent.com subdomains for translated sites and add the base domain to the public suffix list? > it should be solved by browsers too & length should be limited IMO this is only going to be solved by a revision to the spec that resolves the ambiguity. The core issue is that browsers and servers disagree as to what a "reasonable" cookie jar size is, and servers are rejecting request with "unreasonably" large cookie jars. Until those limits are actually part of a spec that people follow, someone's going to be sending too much or allowing too little and legitimate requests will get rejected. I don't know if you've read Michal's "The Tangled Web" or the Browser Security Handbook but they both go into it a little.[3] [0]: http://publicsuffix.org/learn/ http://publicsuffix.org/learn/ (under Chromium) [1]: http://cookietestblog1.blogspot.com/2014/01/cookie-test.html http://cookietestblog1.blogspot.com/2014/01/cookie-test.html [2]: http://cookietestblog2.blogspot.com/2014/01/cookie-test.html http://cookietestblog2.blogspot.com/2014/01/cookie-test.html [3]: http://code.google.com/p/browsersec/wiki/Part2#Same-origin_policy_for_cookies http://code.google.com/p/browsersec/wiki/Part2#Same-origin_p...
