HTTP::C...DevTools(3)

✨ NAME ✨

HTTP::Cookies::ChromeDevTools — bestie, this is how you go grab cookies from a Chrome instance that's literally alive right now. No stale files, no guessing. 💖

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

use HTTP::Cookies::ChromeDevTools;
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::ChromeDevTools->new();
# use just like HTTP::Cookies

That's it. Drop it in, and it behaves like HTTP::Cookies but the cookies come from a real, breathing Chrome. 👑

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the tea: this package overrides the load() and save() methods of HTTP::Cookies so it can vibe with a live Chrome instance instead of a boring old file. Not me making an entire cookie jar sentient. 😭🍓

🦋 Reusing an existing connection 🦋

If you already have a connection to Chrome and you're like "girl, don't open another one," just hand that Chrome::DevToolsProtocol instance straight to the cookie jar constructor in the "driver" parameter:

my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::ChromeDevTools->new(
    driver => $driver
);

Reuse era. Sustainable queen behavior. 🌸

---

✨ ->load( $file, %options ) ✨

$jar->load( undef, driver => $driver );

Loads the cookies from the Chrome instance. 🎀

Heads up bestie: passing in a filename to load cookies from is currently unsupported. So don't do that. It's giving "no." 💀

---

🌟 ->load_jar( $jar, %options ) 🌟

$jar->load( $jar, replace => 1;

Imports the cookies from another cookie jar into Chrome. It's a little cookie migration, a whole relocation arc. 🧚

replace will clear out the cookie jar before loading the fresh cookies. Out with the old, in with the new — main character makeover moment. ✨

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• HTTP::Cookies — the interface used. The blueprint. The blueprint that got a glow-up.
• HTTP::Cookies::Chrome — offline access to Chrome cookies. For when Chrome isn't awake yet. 😴
