Description

I'm using commons-httpclient-3.1.
I invoked a login request by PostMethod and get a success response. Here is the Set-Cookie header:

Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=7798b313-6892-4c45-ac8e-8ccb6f390472; Path=/nexus; HttpOnly

I tried to parse it:
HeaderElement[] elems = HeaderElement.parseElements(header.getValue());
System.out.println(header+"--->"+elems.length);

It would only got the first element JSESSIONID, and others such as Path is missing.

I trace it and found such codes in HeaderElement.parseElements:

if (ch == '"')

{ qouted = !qouted; }

HeaderElement element = null;
if ((!qouted) && (ch == ','))

{ element = new HeaderElement(headerValue, from, i); from = i + 1; }

else if (i == len - 1)

{ element = new HeaderElement(headerValue, from, len); }

Is this a bug 'coz org.apache.commons.httpclient.Header.getValue just return a header string without quotes and ',' ?
