Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1006:
-----------------------------------------------
> I don't understand why the change proposed here doesn't match in this
> BrowserCompatSpec
Because the proposed change would create an ambiguity as to what exactly
constitutes a cookie value. The user would need to know whether or not to strip
enclosing quotes around cookie values depending on what cookie spec they have
been parsed with, which is not even always possible.
Having said all that, should you be willing to contribute a full compatibility
IE/Firefox cookie spec, I would be in favor of including it into HttpClient
distribution.

> 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.
