Firefox 3.0.6 not able to read Cookie (breaks MUCkl/JWChat with HTTP Polling)

Firefox as of version 3.0.6 seems to not allow reading cookies from HTTP headers when doing AJAX requests. As a consequence JSJaC’s HTTP Polling backend can’t work correctly anymore and breaks usage of MUCkl and JWChat with this version of Firefox. If your site is affected please consider switching to HTTP Binding (aka BOSH) which should fix this issue.
HTTP Binding has been designed specifically to address issues with constrained clients not capable of reading HTTP header cookies.

    Hi Anthoduff,

    I tried to login from your demo site but I got service-unavailable message.
    Input:
    Http Base = /http-bind/
    Jabber server = beboomer.com

    both FF 3.6 and IE 8 are not worked. What’s wrong?

    This behaviour is correct, by the way - see http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#the-getresponseheader-method
