Description

The parse_cookie_string() function incorrectly handles attributes without values and will keep only one due to the dictionary conversion.
For example if the cookie contains the HttpOnly and the Secure attributes these will both have an empty string as key and eventually only one of these will be returned.

def parse_cookie_string(cookie_string: str) -> dict[str, str]:
"""Parse a cookie string into a dictionary of values.
Args:
cookie_string: A cookie string.

I imagine simply swapping ("", cookie) to (cookie, "") in

litestar/litestar/_parsers.py

Line 59 in 3dfd6fe

cookies = [cookie.split("=", 1) if "=" in cookie else ("", cookie) for cookie in cookie_string.split(";")]
would most likely break some user code accessing connection.cookies so I assume that's not a valid way to fix it, although that format would match the way these attributes work more.
What about (cookie, cookie)? Can't think of anything else that'd be simple and keeps the signature.

For the 'else' clause right? Sounds right to me.

This seems to have been closed on accident as PR #3035 was merged and incorrectly linked to this issue.
Actual bug report which #3035 resolves is #3029

#3034 is still pending to resolve this issue, should I open a new bug report or is there a way to "unlink" and re-open this one? Or just leave as-is now? @provinzkraut
