Re: [Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] bug fix: Use secure cookies

From: Aline Manera <alinefm(a)br.ibm.com&gt; Since this cookie does not contain the "secure" attribute, it might also be sent to the site during an unencrypted session. Any information such as cookies, session tokens or user credentials that are sent to the server as clear text, may be stolen and used later for identity theft or user impersonation. Fix it.
