Major Hi,
we have the problem, that we runs on our build/development machine many instances of java software.
Our main application, sets a cookie with this cookie name: "SessionPersistence-dev-publish,publishdev"
We can't changed this cookie name.
If I get the webfrontend of this application, e.g.:
http://<developmentmachine>.<localdomain>:4503/
Then I get a cookie with this name.
If I change now to jenkins on the same machine:
http://<developmentmachine>.<localdomain>:8080/jenkins/
then I get a blank white page.
In jenkins.log I get the following exception:
Sep 25, 2012 9:27:23 AM winstone.Logger logInternal
SEVERE: Error within request handler thread
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cookie name contains a comma

Workarounds:
1.) Access jenkins directly via IP.
2.) Delete this cookie.
Is this the desired behavior?
many regards,
Jens

The exception does not come from Jenkins and not from Winstone either, it comes from the servlet api as you can see in the stack-trace:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cookie name contains a comma
at javax.servlet.http.Cookie.setName(Cookie.java:79)
at javax.servlet.http.Cookie.<init>(Cookie.java:25)
In the servlet api, we can read:
"The name must conform to RFC 2109. That means it can contain only ASCII alphanumeric characters and cannot contain commas, semicolons, or white space or begin with a $ character. The cookie's name cannot be changed after creation."
See for example http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/servletapi/javax/servlet/http/Cookie.html#Cookie%28java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String%29
In short, the cookie name in your "main application" is not compatible with RFC 2109 and with the servlet api.
I suggest to change at your side. Given that we can't change the servlet api on this side, this issue is won't fix.
