Certain cookie flags don't get unpickled properly

I've noticed that some cookie flags (at least httponly and secure) do not properly get unpickled. This is an issue particularly for FetchFromCacheMiddleware when it unpickles a cached response object.
So far I've narrowed down the issue to this snippet of code:
import pickle from django.http import HttpResponse original = HttpResponse() original.set_cookie('foo', 'bar', path='/blah', httponly=True, secure=True) pickled = pickle.dumps(original, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL) reloaded = pickle.loads(pickled) # httponly and secure get lost in the pickle loading process!! original.cookies['foo']['httponly'] # True reloaded.cookies['foo']['httponly'] # '' original.cookies['foo']['secure'] # True reloaded.cookies['foo']['secure'] # '' str(original.cookies) # 'Set-Cookie: foo=bar; httponly; Path=/blah; secure' str(reloaded.cookies) # 'Set-Cookie: foo=bar; Path=/blah'
At this stage I'm unsure if it's a bug in Django or in Python. For the record, I've tested this with Python 2.7.5.
