    Description

      When a cookie header does not have a domain set then it falls back to the host but this can cause a problem when being validated. For example in the following cookie header case:

      HTTP/1.1 200 OK
      *Set-Cookie: Genero-SID=7a429c67a722aa98ea5191fe0812acd6; Path=/; HttpOnly *
      Server: GAS/3.00.10-150029(__l32xl212)
      Content-Type: text/plain
      Cache-Control: no-cache
      Expires: -1
      Pragma: no-cache
      Transfer-Encoding: chunked
      

      Then if this "Genero-SID" cookie is sent from a server on host "support" or "foo" without specifying whole name in the url, like http://support:80/some_url (and NOT http://support.com:80/some_url) Then the cookie will not be validated correctly, even though it should be based on the standard in this case.
