Description Marcus Schwartz 2014-03-06 22:01:46 UTC

Wget rejects cookies that specify a Path that is not a prefix of the URI that delivered the cookie.  RFC2965 requires this behavior.  But, web browsers don't enforce this requirement.  Some sites rely on web browsers' behavior, and therefore won't work with wget's more RFC-compliant cookie handling.

A patch follows, which introduces a new option called --ignore-cookie-path.  It causes wget to accept such cookies, in violation of RFC2965.

Reproducible: Always
