From the archived emails/online docs I've been reading it appears that poorly
formatted cookies are a common occurrence. I'm running into that right now
where the cookie being sent back from the server has a path of "/" - resulting
in the cookie being rejected as having a malformed format (or something to that
effect).
My question is if there's an established way of handling that. I've tried all
available cookie policies (browser compatible, etc), but nothing has seemed to
work. I'd really rather not write my own cookie handling functionality simply
to get past this parsing issue since httpclient already has great built in
cookie management.
It seems a number of other people have had similar problems. If there's no
established way of handling generally malformed cookies, perhaps we can
abstract the parsing of cookies into it's own class so that projects can inject
their own specific cookie parsing routines. Any thoughts?
