Method Detail

parse

public Cookie[] parse(String host,
                      int port,
                      String path,
                      boolean secure,
                      String header)
               throws MalformedCookieException

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.

Overrides:

parse in class CookieSpecBase

Parameters:

host - the host from which the Set-Cookie value was received

port - the port from which the Set-Cookie value was received

path - the path from which the Set-Cookie value was received

secure - true when the Set-Cookie value was received over secure conection

header - the Set-Cookie received from the server

Returns:

an array of Cookies parsed from the Set-Cookie value

Throws:

Since:
