Others have answered your core question, but I have another point to
add: you can fix these clients by changing your application slightly.

Modify your application to re-write your cookie values with a value
that does not require any spec-ambiguous decoding. Specifically, use
something like base64 encoding so your cookie value is always clean.

If a client sends you a cookie value that is not in the "new" format,
re-issue the cookie value to them with the new format. Issue all new
cookies in the new format (of course).

They it doesn't matter whether or not the clients are properly
spec-compliant.

That is a note to direct consumers of the class. Tomcat's use of this
class is safe (it would be a pretty bad bug if it were not used in a
safe way).
