Chrome doesn't create cookie for domain=localhost in broken https
Explicit setting domain cookie on localhost doesn't work for chrome.
From this:
You can only set domain cookies for registry controlled domains, i.e. something ending in .com or so, but not IPs or intranet hostnames like localhost
Try to set
cookie_domain = ""By this the cookie can be created and will work.
I've tried it and it was working fine.
I guess the easiest workaround for this is to add an entry to the hosts file, like
127.0.0.1 localhost.com and then calling http://localhost.com/ instead of just localhost.
but having said that, this restriction is ridiculous IMO.
