Synopsis Wrong Cookie separator used in HttpURLConnection

Description
HttpURLConnection uses ';' as a separtor for multiple cookies in the HTTP request headers, as it is specified in RFC 2965. However in the "real world" the expected separator is a semi-colon followed by a space (probably due to early implementation in Netscape).
The net effect is that many web servers can't parse correctly the Cookie: header as set by HttpURLConnection.
