Hi Ken The code looks ok to me. In this particular case, though, you should simply be using the 'http.protocol.cookie-datepatterns' parameter to override the default expiry format. http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/http/cookie/params/CookieSpecPNames.html#DATE_PATTERNS > For example, in the "Choosing Cookie Policy" section of the tutorial > docs, it uses the setParameter() API to set the policy: > > httpclient.getParams().setParameter(ClientPNames.COOKIE_POLICY, > CookiePolicy.RFC_2965); > > I assume the two are equivalent, but any input would be appreciated. > Yes, they are.
