Julian Reschke commented on HTTPCLIENT-1006:
--------------------------------------------
Specs (in IETF land) are the way they are based on who shows up to do volunteer
work to write or revise them. Not unlike open source projects.
The current cookie spec aims to describe how cookies work in practice.
Consistenvy with previous versions (AFAIR) was a nice-to-have, not a
requirement.
> 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.
