submitted to KDE bug tracking system

This is bug 21593 in the KDE bug tracking system.

This is fixed in 2.1-7

This seems to be broken again in 2.1-10.

Hmm, maybe it was a bad cookie.  I logged out, removed 
.kde/share/apps/kcookie/cookie and logged in again, and this bug no longer 
happens (also the 'logout doesn't work' bug has gone away too).

I'll keep my eye out for this and reopen if I see it again.

Okay, this is definitely still happening, albeit less frequently than before 
(i.e. sometimes vs. always).

It is working fine right now, but a few minutes ago it broke again.  I will 
attach the cookies file that I deleted (after it went wrong), and the cookies 
file that now exists after I've logged in again and set up the columns.

It looks just like the cookies file is getting read incorrectly and then 
written out again.

working cookies

Okay, how to reproduce it:

1. Start with no cookie file.  rm ~/.kde/share/apps/kcookiejar/cookies
2. Log on using KDE.
3. Start konqueror.
4. Log in to bugzilla.
5. Adjust columns (do a query and click on 'change columns').
6. Observe that it works properly.  Close konqueror.
7. Log out, and log in again (to KDE).
8. Start konqueror, do a query.
9. Observe that the columns are now wrong.  Look in cookies file and see that 
the cookies look fine.
10. Log out, and log in again (to KDE).
11. Look at cookies file and see that some bits are truncated to the first 
word.

KCookieServer::putCookie just does:

         case CF_DOMAIN :
            *out << cookie->domain();
            break;
         case CF_NAME :
            *out << cookie->name();
            break;
         case CF_PATH :
            *out << cookie->path();
            break;
         case CF_HOST :
            *out << cookie->host();
            break;
         case CF_VALUE :
            *out << cookie->value();
            break;

etc.  It's never escaping spaces.  This is broken.

parseField also looks wrong: it allows whitespace by dequoting, but doesn't 
allow both quotes and whitespace in the value (so value 'quote " mark' can 
never be stored).

Fixed for real in 2.1.1-2.
