Why cookie settings are ignored?
If the library allows us to set cookies and configure them, we believe those settings should be applied.
Scenario for EO developers:
1) We have html page with image. Image src is pointed to SERVER_A
2) In our application ( which is started on SERVER_B) we are using EO htmlToPdf. Before convert, we set cookies with restriction (domain = SERVER_B). We expect that cookies are not sent to SERVER_A. But they are.
Code:
Dim cookie As Net.Cookie = New Net.Cookie(cookieName, cookieValue) With {
.Path = "/",
.Domain ="SERVER_B",
.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)
}
htmlToPdfOptions.Cookies.Add(cookie)
HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl(html, pdf, htmlToPdfOptions)
Thanks.

Hi,
It doesn't work this way. The cookie you provided are the "overriding" cookies, which means they would override the cookies from the browser engine's "cookie jar". Cookie properties such as domain name and expiration date are used when the browser engine interacts with cookie jar (for example, a simple search in the cookie jar for cookies matching the current request would not return any expired cookies). They have no bearings on cookies explicitly provided by you. Those cookies are taken as is. So if you want to filter them out, you must filter them out in your code.
Thanks!
