Hello BURAK,
Yes, the current implementation is indeed broken and there are plenty of RFC-compatible cookie strings which it doesn't handle. I'm inclined to use the even more forgiving
$delimiter = '[;,] *';
as it doesn't appear to cause any problems and my reading of RFC 2965 suggests that more than single whitespaces may be present.
If you have no objections, this is the pattern I will use in the forthcoming release.
Thanks very much for your bug report and suggestions,
Pete
