Question

Bizarrely my javascript and css files have cookies (says Firebug). I use Zend Framework and I think it has to do with it. Could I change the .htaccess that CSS or JS files don t link to the ZF or is there another solution?

.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

In my bootstrap file I start the session automaticly, could I detect there really existing files and deactive sessions/cookies?

Answer 1

Cookies aren t in js or CSS files: they are transferred over the HTTP headers.

You can minimize the space they take but if you rely on them, you can t really get rid of them. You can always "move" the static files someplace else so you don t incur the "cost" of the additional headers e.g. cookies. Other place being --> other domain where you suppress cookies altogether.

Answer 2

You can place your CSS and JavaScript files and your Images on a "static" webserver or subdomain which does not accept cookies. There are two very good explanations out there:

Article about Serve Static Content by Google
Article about Cookie free Domain by Yahoo!

Answer 3

Cookies are set per domain, so the browser will send them along with every request it makes to that domain, regardless what type of resource it is requesting.

Answer 4

You can remove useless cookies. Example on htaccess with apache :

<FilesMatch ".(css|js|png|gif|jpg|jpeg)$"> 
     Header unset Cookie 
     Header unset Set-Cookie 
</FilesMatch>

Answer 5

It seems there is a way :

Header unset Set-Cookie
