Bug #7021: WEBrick::HTTPUtils.parse_header "normalizing" white space of 
cookie values.

parse_header calls value.gsub!(/\s+/, " ") on ALL header values. I am 
using a web framework that runs on WEBrick as an HTTP proxy. When the 
cookies pass through the proxy the whitespace is normalized which is 
actually breaking the outgoing service call.  There is a length "flag" 
in the cookie and stripping any whitespace from it breaks that.  Is it 
intended behavior to normalize whitespace in request cookie values?

I forgot to add this in the description here is the style of cookie that 
is giving me issues:

Cookie: testcookie=`FOO  BAR`8;

There are two spaces between and FOO and BAR and its important that they 
stay that way.
