Issue : CookieEncoder quoted String

[Trustin Lee]

In RFC 2965:

value = token | quoted-string

and token is, informally, a sequence of non-special, non-white space characters.

In Section 2.2 of RFC 2616:

 token = 1*<any CHAR except CTLs or separators> separators = "(" | ")" | "<" | ">" | "@" | "," | ";" | ":" | "\" | <"> | "/" | "[" | "]" | "?" | "=" | "{" | "}" | SP | HT

So, if value contains any of the separator characters, it should be quoted.
