public int getVersion ()

public Header getVersionHeader ()

public List<Cookie> parse (Header header, CookieOrigin origin)

Parses the Set-Cookie value into an array of Cookies.

Syntax of the Set-Cookie HTTP Response Header:

This is the format a CGI script would use to add to the HTTP headers a new piece of data which is to be stored by the client for later retrieval.

  Set-Cookie: NAME=VALUE; expires=DATE; path=PATH; domain=DOMAIN_NAME; secure
 

Please note that Netscape draft specification does not fully conform to the HTTP header format. Netscape draft does not specify whether multiple cookies may be sent in one header. Hence, comma character may be present in unquoted cookie value or unquoted parameter value.

Parameters
header the Set-Cookie received from the server
Returns
  • an array of Cookies parsed from the Set-Cookie value
Throws
MalformedCookieException if an exception occurs during parsing
