           Summary: path encoded jsessionid cannot be set
           Product: HttpClient
           Version: 3.0 Beta 1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 2000
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Commons HttpClient
        AssignedTo: httpclient-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: plynch@apache.org


The servlet spec specifies that when cookies are disabled, the string 
";jsessionid=" should be encoded into the URI path with the session id value.
Assuming the servlet spec wouldn't require a URL that is of an invalid spec + I
know the the JDK allows such a URL, this seems to be a bug with HttpClient.

So for example a URI may look like

http://localhost/sample/foo;jsessionid=E15EF639D4E8C44E5EB3CDD606EC2601.jvmRoute?name=value

The problem I discovered is there is no way I could find such that GetMethod
could be configured to accept a URL of this form.

It always strips the value off the jsessionid path info

Example:

HttpMethod method = new
GetMethod("/sampleservlet;jsessionid=989F4B4930817098D4BD8A0B50E704F8.jvmRoute");
NameValuePair[] nvp = {new NameValuePair("name", "value")};
method.setQueryString(nvp);
Sytem.out.println(method.getURI().toString());

This will print

/sampleservlet;jsessionid=?name=value

...and in fact when the method is executed the server logs confirm that the path
requested did not contain a value for jsessionid
