NAME

HTTP::Cookies::Netscape − Access to Netscape cookies files

VERSION

version 6.10

SYNOPSIS

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 );

DESCRIPTION

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

See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies.

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.

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