Detlev Beutner commented on HTTPCLIENT-1006:
--------------------------------------------
Oleg, please, let's stop this "no it does not" game without any reasoning.
Let's assume you are right and I'm wrong: How should I learn from "no it does
not"?! Doesn't help anybody.
Anyhow, I gave the reason several times now and referred to it here again.
Formal it is in 4.2.1, less formal it is in "The cookie-pair contains the
cookie-name and _cookie-value the user agent received in the Set-Cookie
header_." (4.2.2)
I really don't understand the whole hassle. It's as plain and simple as the
sentence from above (4.2.2) can be.
Please keep in mind that primarily, this is not a theoretical discussion (but
the theory underscores the reality, at least). It is about an implementation
which _does break things up_. That's why I have opened my comments with a
concrete example (of a really big site used thousands of times per day).
> 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: HttpClient (classic)
> 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.
