Description
RFC 2109 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2109) states that a Domain attribute when setting a cookie must either be an IP address, or a domain name starting with a dot and containing at least another dot, or be ".local". To quote, "An explicitly specified domain must always start with a dot.".
Browsers seem to ignore this requirement, and also accept values like "xwiki.com", while they should only accepts ".xwiki.com".
