Properties

The following table lists the properties exposed by the HttpCookiesSection class.

Name Description
Domain An optional read/write string value that sets the cookie domain name.
HttpOnlyCookies A read/write boolean value. true if output of the System.Web.Configuration.HttpCookiesSection.HttpOnlyCookies property in Internet Explorer 6 SP1 or later is enabled; otherwise, false. The default is false.

This property can help mitigate cross-site scripting threats that result in stolen cookies. When a cookie that has HttpOnlyCookies set to true is received by a compliant browser, it is inaccessible to client-side script. Support for this type of cookie was added in Internet Explorer 6 SP1. For more information about possible attacks and how HttpOnlyCookies can help mitigate them, see Mitigating Cross-Site Scripting with HTTP-Only Cookies.
Location (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) A key property.
Path (Inherited from ConfigurationSection.) A key property.
RequireSSL An optional read/write boolean value. true if Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication is required; otherwise, false. The default is false. Note: This setting is overridden by any other feature that exposes the RequireSSL property.
