You can only set domain cookies for registry controlled domains, i.e.
something ending in .com or so, but not IPs or intranet hostnames like
localhost

I am in the same boat. I love chrome, but my work needs me to work on
localhost... so I have to use Firefox, and I lose all my favorite features
and interfaces.

Comment #12 on issue 56211 by ak.sa...@gmail.com: chrome.cookies fails for
localhost domains
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=56211

I've have faced a problem in chrome and IE9,
working on localhost, when I use the function setcookie() in PHP and give
it all the parameters, the cookie won't be stored!! which is not the case
for FF and Opera!!,
but when I try it just with the cookie name, the value, and the expiry date
parameters all goes right and the cookie is stored...and now here are the
two PHP codes that I have used:

Function with all the parameters:
setcookie( 'reloginID', $digest, time()+60*60*24*7, '/', 'localhost',
false, true); /*=== Works normaly in FF and Opera ===*/

Function with less parameters:
setcookie( 'reloginID', $digest, time()+60*60*24*7);

So can any one explain that ...
Thank you in advance ;)

The problem in your code is the parameter "localhost". This is the topic of
this discussion: Chromium has introduced a limit that prevents cookies to
work when the parameter "domain" is used with the value "localhost". It
surprised everyone and they do not explain very clearly why they introduced
this limitation ...

While being different and innovative is nice, this "feature", even if its
not part of the specs, is used by so many people, especially developers, me
included.

Please answer comment #5 and introduce a way to enable Cookies on
localhost, even though a hack with the hosts file can fix it.

Dear Google just what are you doing? I really don't need to mention this
but I will. As a web developer from the very early days before even web
developers ever really existed, some 18 years ago nearly. I find it
impossible to understand your logic at not including the facility to accept
cookies from a localhost server. I would expect many thousands of
developers are scratching their heads at this, even now.

I only recently decided to start using Chrome as well as other browsers to
make sure the sites that I design and code are as near to the original
design as possible. Every browser has its quirks and I like many thousands
of others would expect and require this facility within a web browser. So
why?

For those who have encountered this issue with localhost or other
non-registered domains, removing the domain= part from the cookie will
allow the cookie to be set for the requesting domain, but not any
subdomains. In PHP, use NULL for domain.

Workaround for developers using /etc/hosts: it looks weird, but just add
a .com to whatever name you were using for 127.0.0.1. localhost.com,
myapp.com, etc. work fine in /etc/hosts and that way Chrome will accept the
cookies.

I can't believe this STILL has not been fixed. The safest way to develop,
is to develop locally, try to do nastiness locally, and after it is
hardened then publish. I can't do that with your browser because of this
dumb bug ...

RFC 2965 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2965), section 3.3.2
states "[reject cookie if] The value for the Domain attribute contains no
embedded dots, and the value is not .local".

Not sure, but that might be the reason why these cookies are rejected and
might answer comment #5. Would be nice to get that confirmed by Google...

Is this for real? How come the other browsers allow this and Chrome does
not?

Comment #52 on issue 56211 by i...@getrailo.org: chrome.cookies fails for

I guess the simplest fix is to add an entry to the hosts file, like

localhost.com 127.0.0.1

and then calling http://localhost.com/ instead of just localhost.

but having said that, this restriction is ridiculous IMO.

I am not sure its relevant but i came to this article searching for the
similar issue. In my case i was passing localhost as Cookie domain and
testing on localhost. The Set-Cookie header was being passed to web browser
but cookie was not being created and was not being passed back to server on
subsequent requests.

I found this article on SOF
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1134290/cookies-on-localhost-with-explicit-domain

which says
================
when working on localhost (!) the cookie-domain must be set to "" or NULL
or FALSE instead of "localhost"
================

Source of reference is:
http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/cookie_spec.html

This solution works fine for me.

I hope it helps someone...

The following revision refers to this bug:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/e99453bd606cfba6902d82d1e363826d21b0c6a8

commit e99453bd606cfba6902d82d1e363826d21b0c6a8
Author: mkwst <mk...@chromium.org>
Date: Sat Nov 07 10:33:25 2015

Treat exact domain match cookies on public suffixes as host cookies.

Historically, we've rejected any cookie with a `domain` attribute for
hosts that we treat as public suffixes. This patch loosens that stance
by treating cookies whose domain attribute exactly matches the host as
host cookies.

This matches the language in step 5 of section 5.3 of RFC 6265
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-5.3), and
matches both Firefox and IE's behavior.
