Class Cookie

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.parser.Cookie

public class Cookie extends Object

Cookie header parser based on RFC6265

The parsing of cookies using RFC6265 is more relaxed that the specification in the following ways:

  • Values 0x80 to 0xFF are permitted in cookie-octet to support the use of UTF-8 in cookie values as used by HTML 5.
  • For cookies without a value, the '=' is not required after the name as some browsers do not sent it.

Implementation note:
This class has been carefully tuned. Before committing any changes, ensure that the TesterCookiePerformance unit test continues to give results within 1% for the old and new parsers.
