Description
A Cookie
object represents an HTTP cookie: a small
amount of information sent by a servlet to a web browser, saved by
the browser, and later sent back to the server with new requests. A
cookie’s value can uniquely identify a client, so cookies are
commonly used for session management. A cookie has a name, a single
value, and optional attributes such as comments, path and domain
qualifiers, a maximum age, and a version number.
This class supports both the Version (the informal specification first introduced by Netscape) and the Version 1 (formally defined by RFC 2109) cookie specifications. By default, cookies are created using Version to ensure the best interoperability.
