I personally do not find "all big boys do it" sort of arguments very convincing.
The cookie is clearly malformed and HttpClient's behavior is absolutely correct.
If better ideas are lacking, one can always send '/' instead of null.

This said, I'll adapt our 'compatibility' cookie policy to conform to this kind
of (mis-)behavior.
