Cookies for localhost only using domain=127.0.0.1 with libsoup

Platform

Hi,
I just implemented a prototype of an XMLRPC server using libsoup. Read more on Savannah.

Now, I face a problem to set cookies for domain=localhost. Since the domain name has to include a dot, I did this as a workaround:

    if(strchr(server->domain, '.') == NULL){
      domain = server->ip4;
    }else{
      domain = server->domain;
    }

    path = "/";
    
    /* response */
    login_cookie = soup_cookie_new("ags-srv-login",
				   username,
				   domain,
				   path,
				   -1);

But I am not happy with it because there might be no IPv4 address at all, if it uses IPv6 I have the same problem as with local domains.

How would you fix this issue? What about omitting domain and path?

best regards,
Joël
