Max Gale commented on CXF-6862:
-------------------------------

This is absolutely critical functionality that is broken. This makes NewCookie completely useless. Why has the fix not yet been released?

> I am attempting to update a project from v3.1.4 to v3.1.6 which includes a fix for RFC 2109 compliance (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6729) but have hit a problem.
> The problem is that since 3.1.5, the cookie path field is wrapped in quotations if it has a special character. This quoted path appears to be ignored by Firefox and Chrome (it does work in Safari though).
> Example:
> Our code base is setting path=/ to specify the root path.
> This gets wrapped in quotations in NewCookieHeaderProvider's toString and sent to the browser (Firefox). 
> Firefox then sees it as ""/"" and ignores it (presumable as "/" is not a valid path).
> The cookie is then set on the current path and not the root path.
> This was not an issue in 3.1.4
