localhost cookies cannot be created about edit-this-cookie HOT 9 CLOSED

You can try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost which is sure to work. I have fixed the bug and now should work also on localhost. The fix will be included in version 0.14.5 between today and tomorrow. Can you confirm it works?

Sorry, doesn't work with 0.14.5.

It seems like a workaround. Looks like on localhost when creating a cookie, it uses 127.0.0.1 for the domain which is okay for localhost, but something like that won't work when you have other name based virtual hosts. For example, I also have a local web server that is attached to the domain dev (ie http://dev/index.php) and so in a case like that, I cannot set a cookie for the domain 'dev'...unless i pull up the javascript console and create it myself.

Thing is... this used to work... how hard is it to revert to the code which did the job correctly?

I think this is still broken. It has never worked for me. Using

Edit This Cookie 0.14.8
chrome 16.0.912.75 m

Trying to add a cookie to localhost:8080

I have tried 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.1:8080, localhost, localhost:8080

Adding a Localhost cookie does not work for me either. I am using a port of 3000 on my local machine. I am using version 0.31. However if i use 127.0.0.1 with no port in the 'add cookie' interface it does work

recap:
localhost:3000 addCookie fails
localhost addCookie fails
127.0.0.1:3000 addCookie fails
127.0.0.1 addCookie success!

Edit This Cookie 0.31
chrome: 20.0.1132.57 m

You can set a cookie on localhost by removing the domain from the domain text field. Not very obvious but cookies cannot be set with an explicit domain on localhost. See for example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1134290/cookies-on-localhost-with-explicit-domain

My suggestion is that setting a cookie when on localhost should not prefill the domain field.
