freetwix commented on HTTPCLIENT-810:
-------------------------------------
i don't get the point (i understand that httpclient don't want to support all
the browser ugliness, though).
the rfc part you bring as a counter-argument is for sending the cookie. there
is the only valid use of a comma as a separator, but only for the separation of
the cookie-version (nobody seems to use).
but the the important part for me is the parsing of a Set-Cookie header and the
note, that a comma as a separator between cookie-values should be supported
(which is described again in the sending of the cookie - that's the weak point
of the spec). i can't see in the rfc why a comma separated cookie value is
split up into multiple cookies. the onyl valid separator is a semicolon!
i don't want to write my own cookie spec, you misunderstood me in this point.
there are some arguments that other implementations of cookie parsing seem to
handle cookies the way i understand the rfc in this weird case and even jmeter
in older versions supported these cookies. now they switched to httpclient
(which is a good idea, i think, cause why reinvent the wheel) but that is a
problem for me now. especially if httpclient will be the defacto standard for
cookie parsing in java world.
i really honour the work you are doing providing the commons for the community,
thx.

> cookie value parsing
> --------------------

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-810
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-810
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpCookie
> Affects Versions: 3.1 Final
> Environment: jmeter test (using jmeter 2.3.2)
> Reporter: freetwix
>
> A cookie is set in a request like this:
> Set-Cookie: cookiename=|foo=yyy,bar=xxx|; secure; path=/
> The resulting cookie in the next request looks like this:
> cookiename=|foo=yyy; bar=xxx|;
> as far as i understand, the one cookie is parsed into 2 cookies. jmeter seems
> to use httpclient-3.1 for the parsing. is this an issue for you?
