Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-896.
------------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
The format of the cookie in question is compatible with the Netscape Draft
specification only. The best match cookie policy correctly identifies the
cookie as Netscape but parsing of the 'expires' attribute fails because the
only date format permitted by the Netscape Draft is "EEE, dd MMM-yyyy-HH:mm:ss
z". In order to make HttpClient accept cookies containing nonstandard 'expires'
one should set valid date formats using 'http.protocol.cookie-datepatterns'
parameter. See example:
-----
BasicHttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
params.setParameter(CookieSpecPNames.DATE_PATTERNS,
Arrays.asList("EEE, dd MMM-yyyy-HH:mm:ss z", "EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss
z"));
BestMatchSpecFactory factory = new BestMatchSpecFactory();
CookieSpec cookiespec = factory.newInstance(params);
BasicHeader header = new BasicHeader("Set-Cookie",
"asid=011e7014f5e7718e02d893335aa5a16e; path=/; " +
"expires=Wed, 16 May 2018 17:13:32 GMT");
CookieOrigin origin = new CookieOrigin("localhost", 80, "/", false);
List<Cookie> cookies = cookiespec.parse(header, origin);
System.out.println(cookies);
-----
I guess the policy was made stricter sometime post 4.0-beta1
Hope this clarifies the situation somewhat
