Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1006:
-----------------------------------------------
What you and Liang are saying is directly contradictory with RFC 2616 section
2.2 and section 4.2 that define {{quoted-string}} and general rules of escaping
special characters inside header elements defined thereby. Even on a basic
common sense level quotes as a part of cookie value makes _zero_ sense as they
have universally been intended as an escape mechanism in HTTP related protocols.
RFC 6265 however does define its own grammar for cookie values without
referring to {{quoted-string}}. I'll re-read RFC 6265 and see if there are any
explicit statements about escaping special characters in cookie elements.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1006
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1006
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient (classic)
> Affects Versions: 4.0.2
> Reporter: Marc Guillemot
>
> If the server sends a cookie header like:
> Set-Cookie: first="hello world"
> then HttpClient parses it as cookie with value >hello world<, wrongly
> removing the leading and trailing quotes. The incorrect quote removal occurs
> in BasicHeaderValueParser.
