JIRA cookies aren't scoped by path, so break other webapps on the server

      Cookies are scoped by host (eg. 'jira.atlassian.com') and path (eg. '/' or '/jira'). JIRA's UI-oriented cookies (set in issue navigator and admin section) are only scoped by host. This causes two problems:

      • All 13+ JIRA cookies are sent to other applications on the same host (Confluence?), quite likely pushing the user's browser over the 20-cookie limit causing odd breakages.
      • You can't have two parallel JIRA servers without their cookie-based preferences interfering.
