Request for approval: 7023713: HttpCookie.domainMatches("hostname.local", "hostname") should return true

[Chris Hegarty]

Sean,

Are you encountering this bug in Java 7, in the real world, or is this a 
proactive backport? My initial reaction to this request is that we 
should not backport, unless someone is actually running into it. 
Otherwise we are making a behavior change, and taking a risk, unnecessarily.

-Chris.
