Incompatibility with Apache Http Client 4.x due to Cookie Expires date format

[aschepp]

Describe the bug
With Commit 00465a6 you created your own implementation of the Set-Cookie header in DefaultCookieSerializer.writeCookieValue(...). But the date format in the Expires field is not spec compliant to the Netscape Draft spec. With the change you set the date format to RFC1123 which has spaces in between the date fields, but the original spec requires dashes in between the date fields.

We encountered this issue, when using Apache Http Client 4.x against one of our servers. Apache Http Client 4.x support the Netscape Draft Spec, RFC2109 and RFC2965. If the expires field is present, it defaults to the Netscape Draft Spec and the date format with dashes. Code It then continues to fail to parse the Session Cookie.

Apache Http Clients version 5.x are okay, because then the RFC6265 is used.

Feel free to close this ticket, if you think it's not necessary to support these old clients anymore.
