22242	Setting cookie that is too large fails silently	Euphorbium <compositum@…>	pirosb3	Recently I've ran into a situation, that was extremely difficult to debug. Sometimes the cookie was set correctly, but sometimes it was not set at all. Turns out, that sometimes I was trying to set a cookie that was larger than 4096 bytes, and that is the cookie size limit in chrome and many other browsers. Trying to set a cookie that is too large should throw an exception. I could fix this myself, but I would like to hear other's opinions  on this, because cookie size limit varies between the browsers, and I don't think that there is a way to find this out from django without a trial and error. This affects all versions of django.	Bug	closed	Documentation	dev	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	1	0
