Htmlunit fails to set a cookie. I checked the source and found the expiration data was parsed wrongly.
The cookie expiration string is "Sun Jan 20 2019 17:45:00 GMT+0800 (CST)". Htmlunit parses it to 0001-4-13 11:17:45 then regards it as expired. Real browser(Firefox) handles it correctly.

I added one additional format "EEE MMM dd yyyy HH mm ss 'GMT'Z" in the begining of all the 3 date patterns in com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.httpclient.HtmlUnitExpiresHandler, which seems fixed the problem.
