HTTP::C...Netscape(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is HTTP::Cookies::Netscape — the little Perl module that gives you access to Netscape cookies files. It’s the manual page HTTP::Cookies::Netscape(3), and yes it’s iconic for exactly that. 💅

✨ VERSION ✨

version 6.11 — noted, saved, slayed. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

like, here’s the whole vibe in code, no cap:

use LWP;
use HTTP::Cookies::Netscape;
$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Netscape->new(
  file => "c:/program files/netscape/users/ZombieCharity/cookies.txt",
);
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

That’s it. That’s the group chat. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This is a subclass of HTTP::Cookies that reads (and optionally writes) Netscape/Mozilla cookie files. Obsessed.

See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies. periodt. ✨

🙈 CAVEATS 🙈

Please note that the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format can’t store all the information available in the Set-Cookie2 headers, so you will probably lose some information if you save in this format. 😭 That’s a real one, bestie — not me being dramatic.

At time of writing, this module seems to work fine with Mozilla Phoenix/Firebird. 🔥
