Andriy Redko commented on CXF-8163:
-----------------------------------
Indeed, the RFC-6265 has the clarifications regarding empty cookie values, both
in grammar [1] and interpretation [2]. The only unclear part is how to
properly map it to Java APIs: usage of *null* is not helpful (since it becomes
indistinguishable from absent cookie), usage of empty value "" probably makes
more sense. What do you think [~romain.manni-bucau] ? Meanwhile, I will just
briefly check what is the take of popular Java libraries in these regards.

Thanks!

> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.3.4
> Reporter: Romain Manni-Bucau
> Assignee: Andriy Redko

> It is common for a server to bypass the cookie value to reset the cookie,
> there the jax-rs client fails to parse it with an exception whereas I think
> it should ignore the cookie entry.
