Internet-Draft draft-ietf-httpbis-layered-cookies-01.txt is now available. It
is a work item of the HTTP (HTTPBIS) WG of the IETF.
Title: Cookies: HTTP State Management Mechanism
Authors: Anne van Kesteren
Johann Hofmann
Name: draft-ietf-httpbis-layered-cookies-01.txt
Pages: 46
Dates: 2025-11-18
Abstract:
This document defines the HTTP Cookie and Set-Cookie header fields.
These header fields can be used by HTTP servers to store state
(called cookies) at HTTP user agents, letting the servers maintain a
stateful session over the mostly stateless HTTP protocol. Although
cookies have many historical infelicities that degrade their security
and privacy, the Cookie and Set-Cookie header fields are widely used
on the Internet. This document obsoletes RFC 6265 and 6265bis.
