Overview

Class representing an HTTP cookie.

In addition to its specific fields and methods, a Cookie instance is a delegator to the array of its values.

See RFC 2965.

Examples of use

cookie1 = CGI::Cookie.new("name", "value1", "value2", ...)
cookie1 = CGI::Cookie.new("name" => "name", "value" => "value")
cookie1 = CGI::Cookie.new('name'     => 'name',
                          'value'    => ['value1', 'value2', ...],
                          'path'     => 'path',   # optional
                          'domain'   => 'domain', # optional
                          'expires'  => Time.now, # optional
                          'secure'   => true,     # optional
                          'httponly' => true      # optional
                          )

cgi.out("cookie" => [cookie1, cookie2]) { "string" }

name     = cookie1.name
values   = cookie1.value
path     = cookie1.path
domain   = cookie1.domain
expires  = cookie1.expires
secure   = cookie1.secure
httponly = cookie1.httponly

cookie1.name     = 'name'
cookie1.value    = ['value1', 'value2', ...]
cookie1.path     = 'path'
cookie1.domain   = 'domain'
cookie1.expires  = Time.now + 30
cookie1.secure   = true
cookie1.httponly = true

Constructor Details

#initialize(name = "", *value) ⇒ Cookie

Create a new CGI::Cookie object.

:call-seq:

Cookie.new(name_string,*value)
Cookie.new(options_hash)
name_string

The name of the cookie; in this form, there is no #domain or #expiration. The #path is gleaned from the SCRIPT_NAME environment variable, and #secure is false.

*value

value or list of values of the cookie

options_hash

A Hash of options to initialize this Cookie. Possible options are:

name

the name of the cookie. Required.

value

the cookie’s value or list of values.

path

the path for which this cookie applies. Defaults to the value of the SCRIPT_NAME environment variable.

domain

the domain for which this cookie applies.

expires

the time at which this cookie expires, as a Time object.

secure

whether this cookie is a secure cookie or not (default to false). Secure cookies are only transmitted to HTTPS servers.

httponly

whether this cookie is a HttpOnly cookie or not (default to

false).  HttpOnly cookies are not available to javascript.

These keywords correspond to attributes of the cookie object.
