Hi Oleg,

I understand that you don't consider reproducing browser craziness as belonging to the focus of HttpClient. Nevertheless you have a BrowserCompatSpec cookie spec with the description "Cookie specification that strives to closely mimic (mis)behavior of common web browser applications such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla FireFox. ". I don't understand why the change proposed here doesn't match in this BrowserCompatSpec.

And yes we adapt HttpClient in different ways to be able to match common browsers behaviour. Sometimes it is more a hack than and adaptation (for instance our workaround for HTTPCLIENT-960). I have now added a custom cookie spec but we try to keep customization minimal as we remember the migration from 3.x to Httpclient-4.

> 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.
