Afternoon all,
As mentioned in my previous mail, we've just moved to 4.0-rc1 from 4.0-b2.
We've just had a report of a strange application issue, which appears to
stem from a persistent cookie being rejected by HttpClient's BestMatchSpec.
I've tried visiting the same page that sends the cookie in 4.0b2 and it
accepts it just fine.
Log from the error is shown below.
I've tried using BrowserCompatSpec instead, and that seems to solve it, but
I'm hesitant to move to that without running this issue past people here
first. The expires attribute *looks* okay to me, but I'll gladly defer to
your better cookie specification knowledge!
Thanks,
Sam

Sam,
Based on the properties of the cookie HttpClient picked up Netscape
Draft cookie spec, because only this specification permits commas in
values that are not enclosed with quotes. Prior to 4.0-rc1
BrowserCompatSpec was chosen, which I felt was wrong.
The trouble is that according to the Netscape draft, the expiry date is
expected to be in the following format:
'EEE, dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss z'
As a result the cookie gets rejected.
There are two possibilities to work the problem around:
(1) Override the date format using 'http.protocol.cookie-datepatterns'
parameter. This value will apply to all cookie specs.
(2) Set the browser compatibility cookie spec for that particular host
using the 'http.protocol.cookie-policy' parameter on the HTTP request level.
Hope this helps
Oleg
