Overview
Large cookies (> 1 kB) obtained through HttpConnection may cause an S60 3rd Edition device to crash.
Description
S60 devices prior to S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 have a fixed cookie buffer of 1 kB. A greater cookie would make the device set the buffer length to far more than allocated, which may cause the device to crash.
Solution
The length of the cookie buffer has been increased to 4 kB starting from S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2.
