CookieAccessInfo(domain,path,secure,script)

class to determine matching qualities of a cookie

Properties

• String domain - domain to match
• String path - path to match
• Boolean secure - access is secure (ssl generally)
• Boolean script - access is from a script

Cookie(cookiestr_or_cookie, request_domain, request_path)

It turns input into a Cookie (singleton if given a Cookie), the request_domain argument is used to default the domain if it is not explicit in the cookie string, the request_path argument is used to set the path if it is not explicit in a cookie String.

Explicit domains/paths will cascade, implied domains/paths must exactly match (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Domain_and_Pat).

Properties

• String name - name of the cookie
• String value - string associated with the cookie
• String domain - domain to match (on a cookie a '.' at the start means a wildcard matching anything ending in the rest)
• Boolean explicit_domain - if the domain was explicitly set via the cookie string
• String path - base path to match (matches any path starting with this '/' is root)
• Boolean explicit_path - if the path was explicitly set via the cookie string
• Boolean noscript - if it should be kept from scripts
• Boolean secure - should it only be transmitted over secure means
• Number expiration_date - number of millis since 1970 at which this should be removed

Methods

• String toString() - the set-cookie: string for this cookie
• String toValueString() - the cookie: string for this cookie
• Cookie parse(cookiestr, request_domain, request_path) - parses the string onto this cookie or a new one if called directly
• Boolean matches(access_info) - returns true if the access_info allows retrieval of this cookie
• Boolean collidesWith(cookie) - returns true if the cookies cannot exist in the same space (domain and path match)

CookieJar()

class to hold numerous cookies from multiple domains correctly

Methods

• Cookie setCookie(cookie, request_domain, request_path) - modify (or add if not already-existing) a cookie to the jar
• Cookie[] setCookies(cookiestr_or_list, request_domain, request_path) - modify (or add if not already-existing) a large number of cookies to the jar
• Cookie getCookie(cookie_name,access_info) - get a cookie with the name and access_info matching
• Cookie[] getCookies(access_info) - grab all cookies matching this access_info
