> I mentioned this issue on the mailing list and Oleg asked me to file a JIRA.
> I have a cookie like this:
> hadoop.auth="someValue"; Version=1; Expires=Fri, 01 Aug 2014 09:03:40 GMT; HttpOnly
> Because it has an "Expires" attribute, httpclient treats it as a netscape cookie.  But, when it is sent back to the server, it's sent double-quoted:
> hadoop.auth=""someValue""; Version=1; Expires=Fri, 01 Aug 2014 09:03:40 GMT; HttpOnly
> which causes the server to see the hadoop.auth value as "".
> So, it seems like httpclient is being inconsistent in how it treats the version; it first assumes version 0, but then treats it as version 1 and assumes it can add quotes.  Even though the cookie is not a valid Version=1 Cookie, ideally httpclient would not double quote the response.
> NOTE: I tested this on httpclient 4.2.5, but that's not a choice for "Affects Version"
