Hello
A web site was developed and deployed to client. In some cases, I need to set the flag HttpCookie.HttpOnly = true. Okay – I have done it. Next question:
The purpose of using
HttpOnlyis to prevent Javascript from accessing the cookie, primarily to prevent XSS attacks. There are decent write-ups on CodingHorror and MSDN about it.Bottom line: if you need access to the cookie with Javascript you can not use HttpOnly.
