Detlev Beutner commented on HTTPCLIENT-1006:
--------------------------------------------

Oleg, please, let's stop this "no it does not" game without any reasoning. Let's assume you are right and I'm wrong: How should I learn from "no it does not"?! Doesn't help anybody.

Anyhow, I gave the reason several times now and referred to it here again. Formal it is in 4.2.1, less formal it is in "The cookie-pair contains the cookie-name and _cookie-value the user agent received in the Set-Cookie header_." (4.2.2)

I really don't understand the whole hassle. It's as plain and simple as the sentence from above (4.2.2) can be.

Please keep in mind that primarily, this is not a theoretical discussion (but the theory underscores the reality, at least). It is about an implementation which _does break things up_. That's why I have opened my comments with a concrete example (of a really big site used thousands of times per day).

>    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.
