Chrome doesn't create cookie for domain=localhost in broken https

Question

I have application on my localhost in https. But the certification on localhost is broken.

Below, response header. Problem: MyCookie is not created:

Answer 1

I use Chrome Version 51.0.2704.103 and it is not a problem to set "localhost" as a domain. It was a problem ".localhost" to set and save a cookie.

Answer 2

Explicit setting domain cookie on localhost doesn't work for chrome.

From this:

You can only set domain cookies for registry controlled domains, i.e. something ending in .com or so, but not IPs or intranet hostnames like localhost

Answer 3

Try to set

cookie_domain = ""

By this the cookie can be created and will work.

I've tried it and it was working fine.

Answer 4

I guess the easiest workaround for this is to add an entry to the hosts file, like

127.0.0.1    localhost.com    

and then calling http://localhost.com/ instead of just localhost.

but having said that, this restriction is ridiculous IMO.
