There is a cookie forwarder which reads cookies from a remote site and forwards them to client's browser using response.addCookie(). The cookie is a Domino LtpaToken with session information encoded and may contain the '+' character. When the cookie is sent to the browser the symbol is encoded('%2b') breaking the session data. Is there a way to prevent such encoding?

Look at the java.net.URLDecoder class. You should be able to "url-decode" the cookie before you add it to the response.



If this cookie needs to go back through the servlet the other way, don't forget to perform the same processing.
