--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Reported by: Pierre Lepropre <plep...@gmail.com>
Date Reported: 2014-07-06
Rejected by: Barry Leiba (IESG)

Section: 5.3

Original Text
-------------
Otherwise:

Set the cookie's persistent-flag to false.

Set the cookie's expiry-time to the latest representable
date.


Corrected Text
--------------
Otherwise:

Set the cookie's persistent-flag to false.

Set the cookie's expiry-time to the latest representable
date. This is a best-effort approach to ensure that the cookie
will effectively expire when "the current session is over"
(as defined by the user agent) and not anytime before.

Notes
-----
The second action item isn't necessarily obvious for an implementer/reader. If I got the intention right, then I believe it might improve the "user-friendly" rating of this document. Otherwise, it might still be beneficial to explicit a bit the reasoning behind that action.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
This report is actually an enhancement request. The discussion of this report on the http-state mailing list should be reviewed if the document is ever revised.
