Description

Within WKWebView network requests seem to strip out the = characters from request body where they didn't in WebView pre-WKWebView (aka 7.x) A sample app demonstrating the problem can be found here: https://github.com/hnestmann/titanium-bug/ {quote}basically it calls this URL to set the cookie: https://hnestmann-inside-eu01-dw.demandware.net/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/CookieCheck-Set and this to play it back: https://hnestmann-inside-eu01-dw.demandware.net/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/CookieCheck-Check in browsers and 7.5.1 the clients send SimpleValue==== in 8.X.X the clients (httpClient and webViews) send SimpleValue {quote}

Thank @Rene Pot for raising the ticket on my behalf. I did inspect the webview in safari and the webview shows the correct cookie values including the equal signs. But they seem to be skipped on the way to the server.

   	url: 'https://hnestmann-inside-eu01-dw.demandware.net/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/CookieCheck-Set'

   	height: 200
   });
   win.add(webView);
   
   webView.addEventListener('load', function(e){
     webView2.url = 'https://hnestmann-inside-eu01-dw.demandware.net/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/CookieCheck-Check'
