ifHttpAgent.GetCookies() returns bad cookies

I've noticed that ifHttpAgent.GetCookies() does not parse cookies correctly from the http header. (Tested using fw 5.5b410).

Here's code to reproduce the problem:


sub main ()
port = CreateObject ("roMessagePort")
ut = CreateObject ("roUrlTransfer")
ut.SetPort (port)
ut.SetCertificatesFile ("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt")
ut.InitClientCertificates ()
ut.EnableCookies ()
ut.SetUrl ("https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin")
if ut.AsyncGetToString ()
while true
msg = Wait (0, port)
if type (msg) = "roUrlEvent"
if msg.GetInt () = 1
status = msg.GetResponseCode ()
print "Status: "; status; ". FailureReason: "; msg.GetFailureReason ()
responseHeaderList = msg.GetResponseHeadersArray ()
print "------Response Headers------"
for each responseHeader in responseHeaderList
for each item in responseHeader
print item; ": "; responseHeader [item]
end for
end for
cookieList = ut.GetCookies ("", "/")
print "------Cookies------"
for each cookie in cookieList
print cookie
end for
endif
exit while
endif
end while
endif
end sub


And here's the output:

It seems that if a cookie has attributes beyond just name, value, Path, Expires, and Secure, then the remaining attributes (up to the next "=" character) are taken to be the name of another cookie, and the characters after the "=" taken to be its value. So GetCookies() returns some items in its array that do not correspond to actual cookies.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here?
