Description

Dear Apache HttpClient team,

I would like to report a bug in the documentation for Apache HttpClient. Specifically, I have found an error in the section on  1.1.3. Working with message headers.(link: https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.5.x/current/tutorial/html/fundamentals.html )

HttpResponse response = new BasicHttpResponse(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1, 
    HttpStatus.SC_OK, "OK");
response.addHeader("Set-Cookie", 
    "c1=a; path=/; domain=localhost");
response.addHeader("Set-Cookie", 
    "c2=b; path=\"/\", c3=c; domain=\"localhost\"");HeaderElementIterator it = new BasicHeaderElementIterator(
    response.headerIterator("Set-Cookie"));while (it.hasNext()) {
    HeaderElement elem = it.nextElement(); 
    System.out.println(elem.getName() + " = " + elem.getValue());
    NameValuePair[] params = elem.getParameters();
    for (int i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
        System.out.println(" " + params[i]);
    }
} 

HttpClient 4.5 Tutorial  output result written in the document is:

c1 = a
path=/
domain=localhost
c2 = b
path=/
c3 = c
domain=localhost 

This is incorrect, the correct output should be:

c1 = a
 path=/
 domain=localhost
c2 = b
 path=/
c3 = c
 domain=localhost 

Could you please fix the format display? This may cause trouble for developers.

 

Here are the pictures:

 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely
