/**
 * This cookie comparator ensures that multiple cookies satisfying
 * a common criteria are ordered in the <tt>Cookie</tt> header such
 * that those with more specific Path attributes precede those with
 * less specific.
 *
 * <p>
 * This comparator assumes that Path attributes of two cookies
 * path-match a commmon request-URI. Otherwise, the result of the
 * comparison is undefined.
