New submission from MeiK <meik2...@gmail.com>:
In Python's built-in SimpleCookie[1], regular expressions are used to parse
cookies, which seems to be a non-standard way.
I looked at the RFC documentation related to cookie resolution: rfc2109[2] and
rfc6265[3], the former has been replaced by the latter. These documents
stipulate that cookies should be split with a semicolon, just like
http.cookiejar.parse_ns_headers[4].
But if we use the approach described in the documentation, then there will be a
set of tests that fail[5].
Current:
>>> print(SimpleCookie('keebler="E=mc2; L=\\"Loves\\"; fudge=\\012;"’))
Set-Cookie: keebler="E=mc2; L=\"Loves\"; fudge=\012;"
Modified:
>>> print(SimpleCookie('keebler="E=mc2; L=\\"Loves\\"; fudge=\\012;"’))
Set-Cookie: keebler="E=mc2
Is this a bug? Should it be modified?
