use Mojo::UserAgent::CookieJar;
# Add response cookies
my $jar = Mojo::UserAgent::CookieJar->new;
$jar->add(
  Mojo::Cookie::Response->new(
    name   => 'foo',
    value  => 'bar',
    domain => 'localhost',
    path   => '/test'
  )

}

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::UserAgent::CookieJar is a minimalistic and relaxed cookie jar used by Mojo::UserAgent, based on RFC 6265.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::UserAgent::CookieJar implements the following attributes.

file


            

              
              
my $file = $jar->file;
$jar     = $jar->file('/home/sri/cookies.txt');

File to "load" cookies from and "save" cookies to in Netscape format. Note that this attribute is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!


            

              
              
# Save cookies to file
$jar->file('cookies.txt')->save;
# Empty cookie jar and load cookies from file
$jar->file('cookies.txt')->empty->load;

ignore


            

              
              
my $ignore = $jar->ignore;
$jar       = $jar->ignore(sub {...});

A callback used to decide if a cookie should be ignored by "collect".


            

              
              
# Ignore all cookies
$jar->ignore(sub { 1 });
# Ignore cookies for domains "com", "net" and "org"
$jar->ignore(sub ($cookie) {
  return undef unless my $domain = $cookie->domain;
  return $domain eq 'com' || $domain eq 'net' || $domain eq 'org';
});

            

          

            

              
              
my $size = $jar->max_cookie_size;
$jar     = $jar->max_cookie_size(4096);

Maximum cookie size in bytes, defaults to 4096 (4KiB).
