Philippe Mouawad commented on HTTPCLIENT-1705:
----------------------------------------------
Hi [~olegk],
I am not an HTTP specialist as you are so I may be wrong, but I read "Cookies
with longer paths are listed before cookies with shorter paths." , so I think
there is a bug.
But, reading https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#5.4:
{code:none}
The user agent SHOULD sort the cookie-list in the following
order:
* Cookies with longer paths are listed before cookies with
shorter paths.
* Among cookies that have equal-length path fields, cookies with
earlier creation-times are listed before cookies with later
creation-times.
NOTE: Not all user agents sort the cookie-list in this order, but
this order reflects common practice when this document was
written, and, historically, there have been servers that
(erroneously) depended on this order.
{code}
> CookieSpecs#formatCookies ordering change between HC3 and HC4
