258CGI::Cookie - Interface to Netscape Cookies
259
260=head1 SYNOPSIS
261
262 use CGI qw/:standard/;
263 use CGI::Cookie;
264
265 # Create new cookies and send them
266 $cookie1 = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>'ID',-value=>123456);
267 $cookie2 = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>'preferences',
268 -value=>{ font => Helvetica,

278 %cookies = parse CGI::Cookie($ENV{COOKIE});
279
280=head1 DESCRIPTION
281
282CGI::Cookie is an interface to Netscape (HTTP/1.1) cookies, an
283innovation that allows Web servers to store persistent information on
284the browser's side of the connection. Although CGI::Cookie is
285intended to be used in conjunction with CGI.pm (and is in fact used by
286it internally), you can use this module independently.
287
288For full information on cookies see
289
290 http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/rfc2109.txt
291
292=head1 USING CGI::Cookie
293
294CGI::Cookie is object oriented. Each cookie object has a name and a
295value. The name is any scalar value. The value is any scalar or
296array value (associative arrays are also allowed). Cookies also have
297several optional attributes, including:
298
299=over 4
300
301=item B<1. expiration date>
302
303The expiration date tells the browser how long to hang on to the
304cookie. If the cookie specifies an expiration date in the future, the
305browser will store the cookie information in a disk file and return it
306to the server every time the user reconnects (until the expiration
307date is reached). If the cookie species an expiration date in the
308past, the browser will remove the cookie from the disk file. If the
309expiration date is not specified, the cookie will persist only until
310the user quits the browser.
311
312=item B<2. domain>
313
314This is a partial or complete domain name for which the cookie is
315valid. The browser will return the cookie to any host that matches
316the partial domain name. For example, if you specify a domain name
317of ".capricorn.com", then Netscape will return the cookie to
318Web servers running on any of the machines "www.capricorn.com",
319"ftp.capricorn.com", "feckless.capricorn.com", etc. Domain names
320must contain at least two periods to prevent attempts to match
321on top level domains like ".edu". If no domain is specified, then
322the browser will only return the cookie to servers on the host the
323cookie originated from.
324
325=item B<3. path>
326
327If you provide a cookie path attribute, the browser will check it
328against your script's URL before returning the cookie. For example,
329if you specify the path "/cgi-bin", then the cookie will be returned
3538e1d5 330to each of the scripts "/cgi-bin/tally.pl", "/cgi-bin/order.pl", and
331"/cgi-bin/customer_service/complain.pl", but not to the script
3d1a2ec4 332"/cgi-private/site_admin.pl". By default, the path is set to "/", so
333that all scripts at your site will receive the cookie.
424ec8fa 334
335=item B<4. secure flag>
336
337If the "secure" attribute is set, the cookie will only be sent to your
338script if the CGI request is occurring on a secure channel, such as SSL.
339
340=back
341
342=head2 Creating New Cookies
343
55b5d700 344 my $c = new CGI::Cookie(-name => 'foo',
424ec8fa 345 -value => 'bar',
346 -expires => '+3M',
347 -domain => '.capricorn.com',
199d4a26 348 -path => '/cgi-bin/database',
424ec8fa 349 -secure => 1
350 );
351
352Create cookies from scratch with the B<new> method. The B<-name> and
353B<-value> parameters are required. The name must be a scalar value.
354The value can be a scalar, an array reference, or a hash reference.
355(At some point in the future cookies will support one of the Perl
356object serialization protocols for full generality).
357
358B<-expires> accepts any of the relative or absolute date formats
359recognized by CGI.pm, for example "+3M" for three months in the
360future. See CGI.pm's documentation for details.
361
362B<-domain> points to a domain name or to a fully qualified host name.
363If not specified, the cookie will be returned only to the Web server
364that created it.
365
366B<-path> points to a partial URL on the current server. The cookie
367will be returned to all URLs beginning with the specified path. If
368not specified, it defaults to '/', which returns the cookie to all
369pages at your site.
370
371B<-secure> if set to a true value instructs the browser to return the
372cookie only when a cryptographic protocol is in use.
373
55b5d700 374For compatibility with Apache::Cookie, you may optionally pass in
375a mod_perl request object as the first argument to C<new()>. It will
376simply be ignored:
377
378 my $c = new CGI::Cookie($r,
379 -name => 'foo',
380 -value => ['bar','baz']);
381
424ec8fa 382=head2 Sending the Cookie to the Browser
383
55b5d700 384The simplest way to send a cookie to the browser is by calling the bake()
385method:
386
387 $c->bake;
388
389Under mod_perl, pass in an Apache request object:
390
391 $c->bake($r);
392
393If you want to set the cookie yourself, Within a CGI script you can send
394a cookie to the browser by creating one or more Set-Cookie: fields in the
395HTTP header. Here is a typical sequence:
424ec8fa 396
397 my $c = new CGI::Cookie(-name => 'foo',
398 -value => ['bar','baz'],
399 -expires => '+3M');
400
401 print "Set-Cookie: $c\n";
402 print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
403
404To send more than one cookie, create several Set-Cookie: fields.
424ec8fa 405
406If you are using CGI.pm, you send cookies by providing a -cookie
407argument to the header() method:
408
409 print header(-cookie=>$c);
410
411Mod_perl users can set cookies using the request object's header_out()
412method:
413
8f3ccfa2 414 $r->headers_out->set('Set-Cookie' => $c);
424ec8fa 415
416Internally, Cookie overloads the "" operator to call its as_string()
417method when incorporated into the HTTP header. as_string() turns the
418Cookie's internal representation into an RFC-compliant text
419representation. You may call as_string() yourself if you prefer:
420
421 print "Set-Cookie: ",$c->as_string,"\n";
422
423=head2 Recovering Previous Cookies
424
425 %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
426
427B<fetch> returns an associative array consisting of all cookies
428returned by the browser. The keys of the array are the cookie names. You
429can iterate through the cookies this way:
430
431 %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
432 foreach (keys %cookies) {
433 do_something($cookies{$_});
434 }
435
436In a scalar context, fetch() returns a hash reference, which may be more
437efficient if you are manipulating multiple cookies.
3cb6de81 438
424ec8fa 439CGI.pm uses the URL escaping methods to save and restore reserved characters
440in its cookies. If you are trying to retrieve a cookie set by a foreign server,
441this escaping method may trip you up. Use raw_fetch() instead, which has the
442same semantics as fetch(), but performs no unescaping.
443
444You may also retrieve cookies that were stored in some external
445form using the parse() class method:
446
e70cb7eb 447 $COOKIES = `cat /usr/tmp/Cookie_stash`;
424ec8fa 448 %cookies = parse CGI::Cookie($COOKIES);
449
8f3ccfa2 450If you are in a mod_perl environment, you can save some overhead by
451passing the request object to fetch() like this:
452
453 CGI::Cookie->fetch($r);
454
424ec8fa 455=head2 Manipulating Cookies
456
457Cookie objects have a series of accessor methods to get and set cookie
458attributes. Each accessor has a similar syntax. Called without
459arguments, the accessor returns the current value of the attribute.
460Called with an argument, the accessor changes the attribute and
461returns its new value.
462
463=over 4
464
465=item B<name()>
466
467Get or set the cookie's name. Example:
468
469 $name = $c->name;
470 $new_name = $c->name('fred');
471
472=item B<value()>
473
474Get or set the cookie's value. Example:
475
476 $value = $c->value;
477 @new_value = $c->value(['a','b','c','d']);
478
a3b3a725 479B<value()> is context sensitive. In a list context it will return
424ec8fa 480the current value of the cookie as an array. In a scalar context it
481will return the B<first> value of a multivalued cookie.
482
483=item B<domain()>
484
485Get or set the cookie's domain.
486
487=item B<path()>
488
489Get or set the cookie's path.
490
491=item B<expires()>
492
493Get or set the cookie's expiration time.
