  • name is a string containing the cookie name
  • value is a string containing the cookie value
  • params is the a table where the keys are cookie attribute names and values are cookie attribute values

new_store() {#http.cookie.new_store}

Defaults to infinity (no maximum size).

store.max_cookies {#http.cookie.store.max_cookies}

The maximum number of cookies allowed in the store. Decreasing this value will only prevent new cookies from being added, it will not remove old cookies.

  • req_path is the path that the cookie was obtained from
  • req_is_http is a boolean flag indicating if the cookie was obtained from a "non-HTTP" API
  • req_is_secure is a boolean flag indicating if the cookie was obtained from a "secure" protocol
  • req_site_for_cookies is a string containing the host that should be considered as the "site for cookies" (See RFC 6265bis-02 Section 5.2), can be nil if unknown.

Attempt to store any cookies found in the response headers.

  • req_headers is the http.headers object for the outgoing request
  • resp_headers is the http.headers object received in response
  • req_host is the host that your query was directed at (only used if req_headers is missing a Host header)
  • req_site_for_cookies is a string containing the host that should be considered as the "site for cookies" (See RFC 6265bis-02 Section 5.2), can be nil if unknown.
