Description

In section 5.2, RFC 6265 says "If the name string is empty, ignore the set-cookie-string entirely." But RFC6265Spec explicitly throws an exception in this case, rather than ignore the cookie string. This make HTTPClient unable to handle certain HTTP responses (which browsers do handle).
