11 WARNING: you may want to backup your browser's cookies file if you use
12 this class to save cookies. I *think* it works, but there have been
15 This class differs from CookieJar only in the format it uses to save and
16 load cookies to and from a file. This class uses the Mozilla/Netscape
17 `cookies.txt' format. lynx uses this file format, too.
19 Don't expect cookies saved while the browser is running to be noticed by
20 the browser (in fact, Mozilla on unix will overwrite your saved cookies if
21 you change them on disk while it's running; on Windows, you probably can't
22 save at all while the browser is running).
24 Note that the Mozilla/Netscape format will downgrade RFC2965 cookies to
25 Netscape cookies on saving.
27 In particular, the cookie version and port number information is lost,
28 together with information about whether or not Path, Port and Discard were
29 specified by the Set-Cookie2 (or Set-Cookie) header, and whether or not the
30 domain as set in the HTTP header started with a dot (yes, I'm aware some
31 domains in Netscape files start with a dot and some don't -- trust me, you
32 really don't want to know any more about this).
34 Note that though Mozilla and Netscape use the same format, they use
35 slightly different headers. The class saves cookies using the Netscape
36 header by default (Mozilla can cope with that).
