http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11235 Summary: Support a rel attribute that restricts cookie transmission Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: alex@sirensclef.com QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org One of the objectives of a CDN involves using a cookie-less domain to cut down on the amount of data that needs to be transferred to the server to make a request. I'm in a situation where I cannot use a cookie-less subdomain because of a need to use ".foo.com" for cookies so that states persist across a non-fixed set of subdomains on the host. For this reason I have a number of subresources that transmit cookie data needlessly on any given page. It would seem useful to allow a "rel" attribute on script/link/img tags that tells the browser to not send cookies with that subrequest. This would make it possible and very easy for developers to cut down on the amount of cookie data being sent, especially in situations when they lack the authority or have a specific obstacle to creating a cookie-less CDN to serve the resources over. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
