描述

cs/web/broad-cookie-domain is triggered when creating a System.Web.HttpCookie with `Domain=null`, but should not report. I believe it would also trigger when `Domain=""`, and I believe that would also be a false positive, but I have not tested that.

According to MDN:
> If the server does not specify a `Domain`, the cookies are available on the server _but not on its subdomains_. Therefore, specifying `Domain` is less restrictive than omitting it.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies#domain_attribute

In System.Web.HttpCookie, setting `Domain=null` _ensures_ that the server will omit the cookie (which is _more restrictive_), otherwise it may default to some arbitrary value from the web.config.

Microsoft Reference Source for System.Web.HttpCookie where the `domain=` string is ommitted if `Domain=null` or `Domain=""`:
