             Summary: PublicSuffixDomainFilter.match() returns true for any 
simple host name.
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1685
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1685
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.5
            Reporter: Alexander Bernstein


HttpClient built by HttpClientBuilder ends up with publicSuffixMatcher created 
by PublicSuffixMatcherLoader.getDefault(). Later on, this object gets passed to 
CookieSpecRegistries.createDefault(publicSuffixMatcherCopy), if the 
cookieSpecRegistry is not set explicitly.

With this scenario, using simple host names (i.e. a name without a dot 
character, such as "server1" ) fails. 

The reason seems to be the 
org.apache.http.impl.cookie.PublicSuffixDomainFilter.match(Cookie, 
CookieOrigin). This method returns a boolean indicating whether the domain is 
in the blacklist. 

For any host name that is not a "localhost", the PublicSuffixMatcher.matches() 
is called, on line 76. This method returns true for any hostname that does not 
contain a dot charcter. Which causes the return false, on line 77. 

Is this a correct behavior? If my server is called "server1", why should its 
name "match" a public suffix? And how do I make this code to recognize simple 
host names like this? If this is an expected behavior, is there a documented 
way to prevent it?
