Question

如果我有一个cookie设置为今天晚上7点到期，并且我在下午6点30分开始会话，那个会话期间但是晚上7点之后的请求将包含cookie，因为它在会话结束时被删除或者浏览器已经删除了它？

Answer 1

是的，Cookie会在会话期间过期，并且通常会这样做。 Cookie在到期时到期，无论是在会话中还是在会话中。如果服务器希望cookie持续用于会话，则应将cookie重置为会话cookie，或者在将来进一步设置到期时间。

浏览器不应发送任何已过期的cookie到服务器。这在RFC 2965（2000年10月）中论述：

最大年龄=值
     可选的。 Max-Age属性的值为delta-seconds，
     cookie的生命周期，以秒为单位，小数点为非负数      整数。要正确处理缓存的cookie，客户端应该是      根据年龄计算确定cookie的年龄
     HTTP / 1.1规范[RFC2616]中的规则。年龄是什么时候      大于delta-seconds秒，客户端应该丢弃
     cookie。值为零意味着cookie应该被丢弃      立即

[强调补充]

并说：

已过期的Cookie 应该已被丢弃，因此不会转发到原始服务器。

[强调补充]

此RFC已于2000年10月至2011年4月实施，此时RFC 2965（2000年10月）已由RFC 6265（2011年4月）取代。 RFC 6265将过期的cookie从“SHOULD”更改为“必须”的要求。 RFC 6265说：

4.  Server Requirements
...
4.1.2.1.  The Expires Attribute

   The Expires attribute indicates the maximum lifetime of the cookie,
   represented as the date and time at which the cookie expires.  The
   user agent is not required to retain the cookie until the specified
   date has passed.  In fact, user agents often evict cookies due to
   memory pressure or privacy concerns.

4.1.2.2.  The Max-Age Attribute

   The Max-Age attribute indicates the maximum lifetime of the cookie,
   represented as the number of seconds until the cookie expires.  The
   user agent is not required to retain the cookie for the specified
   duration.  In fact, user agents often evict cookies due to memory
   pressure or privacy concerns.

      NOTE: Some existing user agents do not support the Max-Age
      attribute.  User agents that do not support the Max-Age attribute
      ignore the attribute.

   If a cookie has both the Max-Age and the Expires attribute, the Max-
   Age attribute has precedence and controls the expiration date of the
   cookie.  If a cookie has neither the Max-Age nor the Expires
   attribute, the user agent will retain the cookie until "the current
   session is over" (as defined by the user agent).

5.  User Agent Requirements
...
5.2.1.  The Expires Attribute

   If the attribute-name case-insensitively matches the string
   "Expires", the user agent MUST process the cookie-av as follows.

   Let the expiry-time be the result of parsing the attribute-value as
   cookie-date (see Section 5.1.1).

   If the attribute-value failed to parse as a cookie date, ignore the
   cookie-av.

   If the expiry-time is later than the last date the user agent can
   represent, the user agent MAY replace the expiry-time with the last
   representable date.
   If the expiry-time is earlier than the earliest date the user agent
   can represent, the user agent MAY replace the expiry-time with the
   earliest representable date.

   Append an attribute to the cookie-attribute-list with an attribute-
   name of Expires and an attribute-value of expiry-time.

5.2.2.  The Max-Age Attribute

   If the attribute-name case-insensitively matches the string "Max-
   Age", the user agent MUST process the cookie-av as follows.

   If the first character of the attribute-value is not a DIGIT or a "-"
   character, ignore the cookie-av.

   If the remainder of attribute-value contains a non-DIGIT character,
   ignore the cookie-av.

   Let delta-seconds be the attribute-value converted to an integer.

   If delta-seconds is less than or equal to zero (0), let expiry-time
   be the earliest representable date and time.  Otherwise, let the
   expiry-time be the current date and time plus delta-seconds seconds.

   Append an attribute to the cookie-attribute-list with an attribute-
   name of Max-Age and an attribute-value of expiry-time.
...
5.3.  Storage Model
...
   A cookie is "expired" if the cookie has an expiry date in the past.

   The user agent MUST evict all expired cookies from the cookie store
   if, at any time, an expired cookie exists in the cookie store.

   At any time, the user agent MAY "remove excess cookies" from the
   cookie store if the number of cookies sharing a domain field exceeds
   some implementation-defined upper bound (such as 50 cookies).

   At any time, the user agent MAY "remove excess cookies" from the
   cookie store if the cookie store exceeds some predetermined upper
   bound (such as 3000 cookies).

   When the user agent removes excess cookies from the cookie store, the
   user agent MUST evict cookies in the following priority order:

   1.  Expired cookies.

   2.  Cookies that share a domain field with more than a predetermined
       number of other cookies.

   3.  All cookies.

   If two cookies have the same removal priority, the user agent MUST
   evict the cookie with the earliest last-access date first.

   When "the current session is over" (as defined by the user agent),
   the user agent MUST remove from the cookie store all cookies with the
   persistent-flag set to false.
