Investigate if the check for '/' in step 7 for Cookie::new_wrapped is correct

[jdm]

    If the cookie-attribute-list contains an attribute with an
    attribute-name of "Path", set the cookie's path to attribute-
    value of the last attribute in the cookie-attribute-list with an
    attribute-name of "Path". Otherwise, set the cookie's path to
    the default-path of the request-uri.

This warrants further investigation.

The check is correct, but maybe misplaced, or maybe the attribute is ignored altogether in the cookie crate itself.

AFAICT the cookie crate doesn't do it itself. Should the parser ignore Path attributes that don't start with a /, @alexcrichton?

@nox The cookie parser should not ignore Path values that do not begin with '/'. The grammar for path-value does not require a '/' as the first character (RFC6265 4.1.1). The cookie crate cannot default the cookie attribute value to default-path since it obviously lacks this context. As such, I believe the best thing to do is to forward the information upward so that the dependent library (here, servo) can make an informed decision.

Ok, I see, so that step is correct, and the cookie crate shouldn't do anything different.
