Re: [Htmlunit-user] Cookie Support

[David D.K. <ddk...@ki...>]

Actually, I've run into web sites that won't parse cookies properly  
when each cookie is sent in its own header.  (They usually look at the  
first Cookie header and ignore the rest.)  The commons-httpclient  
library has a makeStrict() method on the HttpClientParams class that  
forces cookies to be sent in one header (among other things).

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/3.0/apidocs/org/apache/ 
commons/httpclient/params/HttpClientParams.html#makeStrict()

I've attached a patch that "fixes" this, although I don't think it's a  
good final solution.  IMO, htmlunit should have an API that allows this  
setting to be turned on and off (perhaps on WebClient?).
