--------------------------------------------
Hi Oleg,
I understand that you don't consider reproducing browser craziness as belonging
to the focus of HttpClient. Nevertheless you have a BrowserCompatSpec cookie
spec with the description "Cookie specification that strives to closely mimic
(mis)behavior of common web browser applications such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer and Mozilla FireFox. ". I don't understand why the change proposed
here doesn't match in this BrowserCompatSpec.
And yes we adapt HttpClient in different ways to be able to match common
browsers behaviour. Sometimes it is more a hack than and adaptation (for
instance our workaround for HTTPCLIENT-960). I have now added a custom cookie
spec but we try to keep customization minimal as we remember the migration from
3.x to Httpclient-4.
> BrowserCompatSpec: don't trim " around cookie value

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1006
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1006
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpCookie
> Affects Versions: 4.0.2
> Reporter: Marc Guillemot
>
> If the server sends a cookie header like:
> Set-Cookie: first="hello world"
> then HttpClient parses it as cookie with value >hello world<, wrongly
> removing the leading and trailing quotes. The incorrect quote removal occurs
> in BasicHeaderValueParser.
