What it sends
Cookies with spaces and = in values — tests framework parser edge cases.
GET /cookie HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: localhost:8080\r\n
Cookie: a=hello world; b=x=y\r\n
\r\nWhy it matters
Spaces in values and = signs within values are common in real-world cookies (e.g., Base64-encoded tokens) and can confuse parsers that split on = or whitespace too aggressively.
Verdicts
- Pass — 2xx or 400
- Warn — 404 (endpoint not available)
