Synopsis HttpCookie a bit too strict when parsing expiration date
Category java:classes_net
Reported Against
Release Fixed
State 11-Closed, duplicate of 6644726, bug

Description
HttpCookie expects the format to be "EEE',' dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT'" (as specified in the proper RFC)
e.g.:
 - FPS=ds;expires=Wed, 19-Aug-2015 16:00:00 GMT;path=/;domain=www.yahoo.com 
But some sites have a slightly different formats:
 - FPHH=2;expires=Sun,  customer  Dec 2007 13:23:04 GMT;path=/;domain=www.yahoo.com
 - FPCK=R0WC0eQA;expires=Fri Nov 23 2007 14:23:03 GMT+0100 (CET);path=/;domain=www.yahoo.com

A less strict date parsing is necessary for a wider compatibility.
