According to this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie
a cookie response could include "Domain=example.com", which I read to
mean the domain can appear in the response for a cookie. Am I
mistaken?
> The question is whether the cookie values themselves can be.
The same Wikipedia article says no:
The value of a cookie may consist of any printable ASCII character
(! through ~, Unicode \u0021 through \u007E) excluding , and ; and
whitespace characters. The name of a cookie excludes the same
characters, as well as =, since that is the delimiter between the
name and value. The cookie standard RFC 2965 is more restrictive but
not implemented by browsers.
So AFAIU, the only problem is the domain name (and maybe also Path).
