setcookie() does not set cookie in Google Chrome

by

Disabling cookies for IP addresses and localhost was a design decision. See also: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=56211

Ways to work around the issue include:

  • Set a local domain (e.g., edit /etc/hosts to use 127.0.0.1 localhost.com).
  • Use http://myproject.localhacks.com/ (which points to 127.0.0.1).
  • Use an empty domain value when setting the cookie.

For example, in PHP:

setcookie(
  $AUTH_COOKIE_NAME,
  $cookie_value,
  time() + cookie_expiration(),
  $BASE_DIRECTORY,
  null,
  false,
  true
);

Here the value null indicates that the domain should not be set.

Note: not setting the domain prevents the cookie being visible to sub-domains.
