Gregory Chanan commented on HTTPCLIENT-1546:
--------------------------------------------
Tried again today with the latest snapshot in the maven repo, same result. I
believe the issue is that I'm using the BestMatchSpec, not the
BrowserCompatSpec. If you change the above test to use the the BestMatchSpec,
if fails for me. Is that expected?

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1546
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1546
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpCookie
> Reporter: Gregory Chanan
> Fix For: 4.3.6, 4.4 Alpha2

> I mentioned this issue on the mailing list and Oleg asked me to file a JIRA.
> I have a cookie like this:
> hadoop.auth="someValue"; Version=1; Expires=Fri, 01 Aug 2014 09:03:40 GMT;
> HttpOnly
> Because it has an "Expires" attribute, httpclient treats it as a netscape
> cookie. But, when it is sent back to the server, it's sent double-quoted:
> hadoop.auth=""someValue""; Version=1; Expires=Fri, 01 Aug 2014 09:03:40 GMT;
> HttpOnly
> which causes the server to see the hadoop.auth value as "".
> So, it seems like httpclient is being inconsistent in how it treats the
> version; it first assumes version 0, but then treats it as version 1 and
> assumes it can add quotes. Even though the cookie is not a valid Version=1
> Cookie, ideally httpclient would not double quote the response.
> NOTE: I tested this on httpclient 4.2.5, but that's not a choice for "Affects
> Version"
