parse

public List<Cookie> parse(Header header,
                 CookieOrigin origin)
                   throws MalformedCookieException

Parses the Set-Cookie value into an array of Cookies.

Syntax of the Set-Cookie HTTP Response Header:

This is the format a CGI script would use to add to the HTTP headers a new piece of data which is to be stored by the client for later retrieval.

  Set-Cookie: NAME=VALUE; expires=DATE; path=PATH; domain=DOMAIN_NAME; secure
 

Please note that the Netscape draft specification does not fully conform to the HTTP header format. Comma character if present in Set-Cookie will not be treated as a header element separator

Parameters:

header - the Set-Cookie received from the server

origin - details of the cookie origin

Returns:

an array of Cookies parsed from the Set-Cookie value

Throws:

MalformedCookieException - if an exception occurs during parsing
