Duzayak, 'Set-Cookie' (request) header is not the same thing as the 'Cookie' (response) header. CookieSpec#formatCookieHeader() method produces a 'Set-Cookie' (request) header, whereas CookieSpec#parse() method is intended to parse 'Cookie' (response) headers
I hope this clarifies things a bit Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Cabbar Duzayak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 13:47 To: Commons HttpClient Project Subject: Cookie Bug? Hi, I am trying to run the following code for www.google.com: Cookie cookie = initialState.getCookies()[0]; CookieSpec cs = CookiePolicy.getDefaultSpec(); Header h = cs.formatCookieHeader(cookie); Cookie[] cookie2 = cs.parse(cookie.getDomain(), 80, cookie.getPath(), cookie.getSecure(), h); And, it is throwing an exception as: "org.apache.commons.httpclient.cookie.MalformedCookieException: Cookie name may not start with $" It looks like h.getValue returns name with $ sign (which was indeed created by the cookiespec), but the same cookiespec can not read this back, because it has a $ sign??? BTW, h.getValue() is: $Version=0; PREF=ID=069e080d47cd4332:TM=1084362072:LM=1084362072:S=0u9G4CTYGPvhxJzn; $Domain=.google.com; $Path=/ Looks like, cookieSpec.parse is expecting the same string without $ signs, in fact, when I remove dollar signs manually, the code works fine. Did I hit the jackpot and found a bug;) Thanks... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
