cookie jar code: enhance security by keeping track of effective TLDs
The problem was the following: According to the cookie RFC, domains must have at least one dot in their name for setting a cookie (e.g. domain example.com can set a cookie for ".example.com" but not for ".com"). The problem is: Following this rule, one could still set "supercookies" for e.g. ".co.uk". The solution is to generate a table from http://publicsuffix.org which maintains a list of all "effective" TLDs like e.g. ".co.uk". Reviewed-by: Olivier Goffart Task-number: QTBUG-14706
