\modulesynopsis{Support HTTP State Management (Cookies)}
|
||||
|
||||
The \module{Cookie} module defines classes for abstracting the concept of
|
||||
Cookies, an HTTP state management mechanism. It supports both simplistic
|
||||
string-only cookies, and provides an abstraction for having any serializable
|
||||
data-type as cookie value.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection{Example \label{cookie-example}}
|
||||
|
||||
The following example demonstrates how to open a can of spam using the
|
||||
\module{spam} module.
