[Bug] ASGI cookie conversion serializes an absent Domain attribute and breaks __Host- cookies #1902
Description
Expected Behavior
This surfaced in FastMCP issue #4748. FastMCP's OAuth consent flow emits a valid __Host- cookie, but when the application runs on Azure Functions, the browser receives a Domain attribute and rejects it.
Azure Functions should preserve the absence of Domain in this ASGI response:
Set-Cookie: __Host-test=value; Path=/; Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax__Host- cookies require Secure, Path=/, and no Domain attribute.
Actual Behavior
The Python ASGI response path parses Set-Cookie into a structured cookie and serializes the missing domain as a present, empty domain. The final response contains domain= or surfaces the Function App hostname as its effective domain. Browsers therefore reject the __Host- cookie; in FastMCP this causes the consent POST's CSRF check to fail.
Steps to Reproduce
- Deploy the ASGI application below to Azure Functions.
- Request its HTTP endpoint over HTTPS.
- Inspect the final
Set-Cookieheader and the browser cookie warnings. - Observe that the response includes a Domain attribute and the browser rejects
__Host-test.

import azure.functions as func
async def asgi_app(scope, receive, send):
assert scope["type"] == "http"
await send(
{
"type": "http.response.start",
"status": 200,
"headers": [
(b"content-type", b"text/plain"),
(
b"set-cookie",
b"__Host-test=value; Path=/; Secure; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax",
),
],
}
)
await send(
{
"type": "http.response.body",
"body": b"ok",
"more_body": False,
}
)
app = func.AsgiFunctionApp(
app=asgi_app,
http_auth_level=func.AuthLevel.ANONYMOUS,
)Relevant log output
No application error is logged. The failure appears in the response header and browser cookie warning.

Additional Information
azure-functions-python-library removes the raw header and parses it with SimpleCookie:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-python-library/blob/dev/azure/functions/http.py#L113-L116
The worker then passes the empty cookie_entity['domain'] value to to_nullable_string, creating a present RPC domain:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-python-worker/blob/dev/workers/azure_functions_worker/bindings/datumdef.py#L232-L245
The existing end-to-end test expects an attribute-free cookie to become foo=bar; domain=; path=:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-python-worker/blob/dev/workers/tests/unittests/test_http_functions.py#L374-L379
A targeted fix would omit the RPC domain when cookie_entity['domain'] is empty while preserving explicit domains. A __Host- regression test can verify that the final response contains Path=/; Secure and no Domain.
