[issue19869] BaseCookie does not complain if a non RFC compliant cookie header was given

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

RFCs and cookies don't have much to do with each other in real life.

The 'httponly' flag bug was fixed in issue 16611.

For backward compatibility reasons we can't start raising errors where we didn't raise them before, so if anything is going to be done it will have to be a bit more complicated, and a be a new feature.
