Description

Since #49 the quote parsing has been broken. The issue which originally led to that PR, #32, was very specific about the reported bug only being an issue for version 1 cookies, which are only a thing in RFC 2965, which in practice is irrelevant.

Research direction

Review the quote-parsing change from issue #49 and the original bug report in issue #32, then compare the current behavior with RFC 6265 rather than RFC 2965. Done means quote parsing follows the RFC 6265 cookie rules and the reported regression is covered by an appropriate test.
