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.

Specified by:
parse in interface CookieSpec
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:
MalformedCookieException - if an exception occurs during parsing
Since:
3.0
