value:1-1313808454|54614728ee113ab09e4db5c863cd5cfa|1313635654|1|1313808454

domain:zhu13890.prod.xxxx.corp

path:/

I send a request a request to zhu13890.prod.xxxx.corp/ddd/j-security-logout, in fiddler i can see the response code is 302, and contains header:

Set-Cookie: Vanilla-Volatile=""; Domain=zhu13890.prod.xxxx.corp; Expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:10 GMT; Path=/

however, the cookie is not removed.

IE8 and its predecessors are garbage and don't actually delete cookies until the browser is restarted, even if you tell it to. Does the cookie exist after a browser restart? http://ebmgh.com/blog/2009/12/ie8-does-not-really-delete-cookies-until-restart/

After try response.setContentType("text/html"). cookie can be remove in IE and chrome, but not firefox, but it's not the same problem. I have created another question Fail to remove cookie in Firefox with Java; Firefox creates a new cookie with dot at the head
