The format of multi-cookie in HTTP request head.
------------------------------------------------

         Key: AXIS-2064
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2064
     Project: Apache Axis
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Basic Architecture  
    Versions: 1.2.1    
 Environment: Any platform
    Reporter: Gerry Gao


In Axis 1.2.1, the HTTPSender and CommonsHTTPSender are sending multiple 
cookies for the default format (multiple cookie headers):
    Cookie: a=a1
    Cookie: b=b2
    Cookie: c=c3
or
    Cookie2: a=a1
    Cookie2: b=b2
    Cookie2: c=c3

According to RFC2965, the multiple cookies should be baked with format (single 
cookie header):
    Cookie: a=a1;b=b2;c=c3

But in fact, most HTTP server supports the multiple cookie headers format. 
The CommonsHTTPSender employs commons-httpclient which already supports switch 
between the formats with a parameter like:
    DefaultHttpParams.getDefaultParams().setBooleanParameter(
       HttpMethodParams.SINGLE_COOKIE_HEADER,
       true);
(Reference: 
http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/SingleCookieHeader)

But the HTTPSender doesn't support this kind of switch.

The suggestion is that Axis can add the feature of customizing the cookies' 
format and provide a parameter for wsdl2java or just provide a public method in 
Stub to let the user designate whihc cookie format should be used. Then make 
HTTPSender and CommonsHTTPSender (commons-httpclient) be aware of this 
parameter.
