Julian Reschke commented on HTTPCLIENT-1006:
--------------------------------------------

Specs (in IETF land) are the way they are based on who shows up to do volunteer work \
to write or revise them. Not unlike open source projects.

The current cookie spec aims to describe how cookies work in practice. Consistenvy \
with previous versions (AFAIR) was a nice-to-have, not a requirement.

> BrowserCompatSpec: don't trim " around cookie value
> ---------------------------------------------------
> 
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1006
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1006
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient (classic)
> Affects Versions: 4.0.2
> Reporter: Marc Guillemot
> 
> If the server sends a cookie header like:
> Set-Cookie: first="hello world"
> then HttpClient parses it as cookie with value >hello world<, wrongly removing the \
> leading and trailing quotes. The incorrect quote removal occurs in \
> BasicHeaderValueParser.
