Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/book.curl
---

> curl version is 7.64.0
> ["features"]=> int(2428829)

This "features" value does not have the PSL bit set (1<<20) which means this curl version suffers from a cookie parsing bug present in 7.64.0, fixed in
7.64.1 (commit 299d9660f85), that made curl not accept cookies on domain names without any dots.

Solution: upgrade (or downgrade) curl.


Test script:
---------------
//this url is a local server, so bluepc has no dots in this url returns cookies

$url = 'http://bluepc/ERPV18/api/Shell/LoginUser/';
//Initiate cURL.
$ch = curl_init($url);

//thiscookie file will never have any cookies in it because bluepc has no dots
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "C:/cookies/cookieFile.txt");

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Expected result:
----------------
cookiefile should have cookies inside like this

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# https://curl.haxx.se/docs/http-cookies.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.

bluepc	FALSE	/	FALSE	0	eti_sessionInfo	YgBsAHUAZQBwAGMAXABzAHEAbAAyADAAMQA3AKcAcwBpAHMAdABlAG0AYQBfAGEAbABhAGMAbwCnAEEATABBAEMATwCnAEUAeAAgADIAMAAxADkApwAxAKcAUABUAC0AUABUAA==




Actual result:
--------------
but it only has the header and its empty 

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# https://curl.haxx.se/docs/http-cookies.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.

Thanks for reporting!  I can confirm this issue.

However, upgrading to cURL 7.64.1 is blocked by bug #78007,
upgrading to cURL 7.65.0/1 by bug #78100.  Downgrading is also no
option due to CVE fixes, which have been applied to the
libcurl-7.64.0-3 packages.

We certainly have to keep an eye on this.

Since there is good progress on bug #78100, I'm closing this ticket.

By closing this ticket I don't know when this is fixed/don't get notified. 

I am waiting for this to install the latest PHP release on a project.

I really need this patched

The plan is to upgrade to curl 7.66.1 as soon as it'll be
available.  I'll drop a note here when that happened.
 [2019-11-22 08:20 UTC] cmb@php.net
The 7.2 and 7.3 branches have just been upgraded to curl 7.67.0,
so PHP for Windows 7.2.26, 7.3.13 and 7.4.0 will be build against
that version (or possibly later).
