Multi Header β Cookie Handling
| Test ID | COOK-MULTI-HEADER |
| Category | Cookies |
| Scored | No |
| RFC Level | N/A |
| Expected | 2xx with both cookies |
What it sends
Two separate Cookie headers β should be folded per RFC 6265 Β§5.4.
GET /echo HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: localhost:8080\r\n
Cookie: a=1\r\n
Cookie: b=2\r\n
\r\n
Why it matters
RFC 6265 Β§5.4 says the user agent SHOULD combine multiple cookie values with ; , but servers must handle receiving them separately since some clients and proxies split them.
Verdicts
- Pass β 2xx with both a=1 and b=2 in body
- Warn β Only one cookie echoed, or 400
- Fail β 500 (crash)
