Hi, 

we are using cookies to save user information. This information is encrypted and a cookie can look like this. 

"alsdnfonion32rasdlfkn=="

When this cookies is retrieved from the Apache Tomcat server the last 2 characters is removed. This makes the decryption of the cookie impossible.

This error is also found in the Apache Tomcat 5.5.26.

It seems like the Tomcat cant handle the '=' characters in cookies. 

We have tested the 5.5.25 version of tomcat and in this version the cookie handling works fine.

Br.
