This does look like a bug.
The HttpClientHelper class appears to URLEncode the cookies like so:
(see private addCookies method, round about line 230).
while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
String key = (String)keys.nextElement();
String value = (String)theRequest.getCookieValue(key);
cookieString.append(';');
cookieString.append(URLEncoder.encode(key));
cookieString.append('=');
cookieString.append(URLEncoder.encode(value));
cookieString.append(value);
}
before using
setRequestProperty("Cookie", cookieString.toString());
if you change to :
while (keys.hasMoreElements()) {
String key = (String)keys.nextElement();
String value = (String)theRequest.getCookieValue(key);
cookieString.append(';');
cookieString.append(key);
cookieString.append('=');
cookieString.append(value);
}
then the cookie string isn't URLEncoded then it appears to work ok, and
the Cookie values come through ok on the server.
HttpURLConnection must do the encoding for you, in which case your
cookie is being encoded twice! :)
Anyone care to comment? and if this is a bug then fix in the source?
Vincent?
