Odi, You are absolutely right. We have to mention in the encoding guide or/and cookie guide that cookies must conform to encoding requirements for the HTTP headers, that is, 'funny' non-US-ASCII characters will be lost.
Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Ortwin Glück [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 3:50 PM To: Commons HttpClient Project Subject: Documentation The documentation about Encodings should include information on Cookies as well. Currently the Headers section says: The headers of a HTTP request or response must be in US-ASCII format. It is not possible to use non US-ASCII characters in the header of a request or response. Generally this is not an issue however, because the HTTP headers are designed to facilite the transfer of data rather than to actually transfer the data itself. We should incorporate the knowledge about cookies here (since cookies are headers). Unfortunately my cookie karma is low. Oleg, I guess you have most experience here. Is there anything we must mention?
