Possibility to turn of quoting of cookies

[dvaeversted]

I am currently using Guzzle for interfacing with a webservice, where i need a session cookie that contains a "=" sign.
Unfortunately this webservice does not support quoted cookie values, which is done in the CookieJar::getCookieValue() method.

Possible solutions:

1. Don't escape because of a = sign
2. Allow overwriting the getCookieValue() method, by modifying the call in CookieHeader::withCookieHeader() to utilize late static binding.

For now i had to completely re-implement the CookieJarInterface, for my use case to work.

Hm... I'm open to changing the behavior here.

I wonder if we should be quoting at all. What does the cookie spec say? I wonder what other HTTP implementations do... For example, Firefox, Chrome, other PHP packages, etc.

While using the webservice through either Firefox or Chrome, neither of them escapes the cookie data.

The RFC does allow escaping, but i think the correct way would be to only escape if the server also sends it escaped.

Thanks. I'm be open to changing it to match other prominent implementations.
