[http-state] test data question

[Vasiliy Baranov <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

I have a cookie implementation that attempts to follow RFC 6265. If I 
run it against the test data found in 
https://github.com/abarth/http-state, the following test fails:

     tests/data/parser/name0032-test:

         Set-Cookie: "foo\"bar;baz"=qux


     tests/data/parser/name0032-expected:

         Set-Cookie: "foo\"bar


I am by no means an expert in this area but it seems to me this test 
goes against the spec, in particular, the following statement found in 
RFC 6265 on page 17:

    2.  If the name-value-pair string lacks a %x3D ("=") character,
        ignore the set-cookie-string entirely.


My understanding is, for the test in question the name-value-pair is 
'"foo\"bar'. This name-value-pair obviously lacks the "=" character, so 
my reading of the spec is the cookie should be rejected entirely. The 
test, however, expects the cookie to be accepted and sent back to the 
server on the subsequent request. Does that mean my reading of the spec 
is incorrect?

I tried this test in Chrome 16.0.912.41 beta-m, Firefox 6.0.1, IE 8, and 
Safari 5.0.5. It passes everywhere except for Safari and my poor 
implementation.

Thanks,
