[jira] [Commented] (WINK-422) Handling JSON Cookies

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WINK-422?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13922943#comment-13922943 ] 

Andy Yang commented on WINK-422:
--------------------------------

In the obsoleted RFC-2109 and RFC-2965, commas were specified as being valid cookie separators. However, RFC-6265 supercedes both of these and section 4.2.1 specifies only semi-colons.

It seems this would be a trivial fix in org.apache.wink.server.internal.contexts.HttpheadersImpl.

> currently HttpHeadersImpl's parseCookieHeader() method does a split("[;,]") on the cookie header which doesn't handle case where cookie values are JSON which are full of commas.
> Religious convictions aside, JSON cookies are fairly common - would Wink consider implementing some way of accessing them, or will it be left up to the user to retrieve the raw header and extract the cookies manually?
