I am using the Add
method of System.Net.CookieContainer
. It has worked well over the years but suddenly I am getting:
Exception calling "Add" with "2" argument(s): "The 'Value'='321,386,%2F%3Fa%3D1,http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xxxx.com%2Fpremium%2Fmoney' part of the cookie is invalid."
I was adding a cookie returned from a web page. The raw header from the web page is:
...
_chartbeat_uuniq=1;
_chartbeat5=321,386,%2F%3Fa%3D1,http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xxx.com%2Fpremium%2Fmoney;
gs_p_GSN-375009-Z=0;
...
What is wrong with the cookie value? Is it the comma?
You should encode the cookie value. The .NET method is
UrlEncode
in theSystem.Web.HttpUtility
API. In .NET Framework, thisUrlEncode
method was provided by theSystem.Web.HttpServerUtility
API. See also this SO answer.
