BasicCookieStore treats cookies of the same name from the same host as duplicates, even if they have different paths

                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-859
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-859
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.0 Beta 2
            Reporter: Ben Perkins


The DefaultHttpClient is not handling cookies correctly when a single host returns multiple cookies of the same name but with separate paths.  For example, if a single instance of the client is used to access two different webapps on the same server, it may receive two different JSESSIONID cookies:

Cookie: [version: 0][name: JSESSIONID][value: F832C01D23F501CE5EEB296B602700C1][domain: lglom139.example.com][path: /msa-adrenalina][expiry: null]
Cookie: [version: 0][name: JSESSIONID][value: 0FC660347391B93267168F84F2B520F5][domain: lglom139.example.com][path: /maps][expiry: null]

Because the CookieIdentityComparator class does not test the cookie path when determining equality, each new JSESSIONID received replaces the previous one instead of adding a new cookie to the store.  This results in "disconnecting" the client from its sessions on the prior webapps.

I've confirmed that adding a path test to CookieIdentityComparator resolves this problem.
