268CGI::Cookie - Interface to Netscape Cookies

272 use CGI qw/:standard/;
273 use CGI::Cookie;
274
275 # Create new cookies and send them
276 $cookie1 = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>'ID',-value=>123456);
277 $cookie2 = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>'preferences',
278 -value=>{ font => Helvetica,
279 size => 12 }

282
283 # fetch existing cookies

285 $id = $cookies{'ID'}->value;
286
287 # create cookies returned from an external source
288 %cookies = parse CGI::Cookie($ENV{COOKIE});
289
290=head1 DESCRIPTION
291
292CGI::Cookie is an interface to Netscape (HTTP/1.1) cookies, an
293innovation that allows Web servers to store persistent information on
294the browser's side of the connection. Although CGI::Cookie is
295intended to be used in conjunction with CGI.pm (and is in fact used by
296it internally), you can use this module independently.
297
298For full information on cookies see
299
300 http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/rfc2109.txt
301
302=head1 USING CGI::Cookie
303
304CGI::Cookie is object oriented. Each cookie object has a name and a
305value. The name is any scalar value. The value is any scalar or
306array value (associative arrays are also allowed). Cookies also have
307several optional attributes, including:
308
309=over 4
310
311=item B<1. expiration date>
312
313The expiration date tells the browser how long to hang on to the
314cookie. If the cookie specifies an expiration date in the future, the
315browser will store the cookie information in a disk file and return it
316to the server every time the user reconnects (until the expiration
317date is reached). If the cookie species an expiration date in the
318past, the browser will remove the cookie from the disk file. If the
319expiration date is not specified, the cookie will persist only until
320the user quits the browser.
321
322=item B<2. domain>
323
324This is a partial or complete domain name for which the cookie is
325valid. The browser will return the cookie to any host that matches
326the partial domain name. For example, if you specify a domain name
327of ".capricorn.com", then Netscape will return the cookie to
328Web servers running on any of the machines "www.capricorn.com",
329"ftp.capricorn.com", "feckless.capricorn.com", etc. Domain names
330must contain at least two periods to prevent attempts to match
331on top level domains like ".edu". If no domain is specified, then
332the browser will only return the cookie to servers on the host the
333cookie originated from.
334
335=item B<3. path>
336
337If you provide a cookie path attribute, the browser will check it
338against your script's URL before returning the cookie. For example,
339if you specify the path "/cgi-bin", then the cookie will be returned
3538e1d5
GS
340to each of the scripts "/cgi-bin/tally.pl", "/cgi-bin/order.pl", and
341"/cgi-bin/customer_service/complain.pl", but not to the script
3d1a2ec4
GS
342"/cgi-private/site_admin.pl". By default, the path is set to "/", so
343that all scripts at your site will receive the cookie.
424ec8fa
GS
344
345=item B<4. secure flag>
346
347If the "secure" attribute is set, the cookie will only be sent to your
348script if the CGI request is occurring on a secure channel, such as SSL.
349
5cfba4ec
JJ
350=item B<4. httponly flag>
351
352If the "httponly" attribute is set, the cookie will only be accessible
353through HTTP Requests. This cookie will be inaccessible via JavaScript
354(to prevent XSS attacks).
355
356But, currently this feature only used and recognised by
357MS Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 and later.

364
365=head2 Creating New Cookies
366
5cfba4ec 367 my $c = new CGI::Cookie(-name => 'foo',
424ec8fa
GS
368 -value => 'bar',
369 -expires => '+3M',
370 -domain => '.capricorn.com',
199d4a26 371 -path => '/cgi-bin/database',
424ec8fa
GS
372 -secure => 1
373 );
374
375Create cookies from scratch with the B<new> method. The B<-name> and
376B<-value> parameters are required. The name must be a scalar value.
377The value can be a scalar, an array reference, or a hash reference.
378(At some point in the future cookies will support one of the Perl
379object serialization protocols for full generality).
380
381B<-expires> accepts any of the relative or absolute date formats
382recognized by CGI.pm, for example "+3M" for three months in the
383future. See CGI.pm's documentation for details.
384
385B<-domain> points to a domain name or to a fully qualified host name.
386If not specified, the cookie will be returned only to the Web server
387that created it.
388
389B<-path> points to a partial URL on the current server. The cookie
390will be returned to all URLs beginning with the specified path. If
391not specified, it defaults to '/', which returns the cookie to all
392pages at your site.
393
394B<-secure> if set to a true value instructs the browser to return the
395cookie only when a cryptographic protocol is in use.
396
5cfba4ec
JJ
397B<-httponly> if set to a true value, the cookie will not be accessible
398via JavaScript.
399
400For compatibility with Apache::Cookie, you may optionally pass in
401a mod_perl request object as the first argument to C<new()>. It will
402simply be ignored:
403
404 my $c = new CGI::Cookie($r,
405 -name => 'foo',
406 -value => ['bar','baz']);
407
424ec8fa
GS
408=head2 Sending the Cookie to the Browser
409
5cfba4ec
JJ
410The simplest way to send a cookie to the browser is by calling the bake()
411method:
412
413 $c->bake;
414
415Under mod_perl, pass in an Apache request object:
416
417 $c->bake($r);
418
419If you want to set the cookie yourself, Within a CGI script you can send
420a cookie to the browser by creating one or more Set-Cookie: fields in the
421HTTP header. Here is a typical sequence:
424ec8fa
GS
422
423 my $c = new CGI::Cookie(-name => 'foo',
424 -value => ['bar','baz'],
425 -expires => '+3M');
426
427 print "Set-Cookie: $c\n";
428 print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
429
430To send more than one cookie, create several Set-Cookie: fields.
424ec8fa
GS
431
432If you are using CGI.pm, you send cookies by providing a -cookie
433argument to the header() method:
434
435 print header(-cookie=>$c);
436
437Mod_perl users can set cookies using the request object's header_out()
438method:
439
6d061c82 440 $r->headers_out->set('Set-Cookie' => $c);
424ec8fa
GS
441
442Internally, Cookie overloads the "" operator to call its as_string()
443method when incorporated into the HTTP header. as_string() turns the
444Cookie's internal representation into an RFC-compliant text
445representation. You may call as_string() yourself if you prefer:
446
447 print "Set-Cookie: ",$c->as_string,"\n";
448
449=head2 Recovering Previous Cookies
450
451 %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
452
453B<fetch> returns an associative array consisting of all cookies
454returned by the browser. The keys of the array are the cookie names. You
455can iterate through the cookies this way:
456
457 %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
458 foreach (keys %cookies) {
459 do_something($cookies{$_});
460 }
461
462In a scalar context, fetch() returns a hash reference, which may be more
463efficient if you are manipulating multiple cookies.
3cb6de81 464
424ec8fa
GS
465CGI.pm uses the URL escaping methods to save and restore reserved characters
466in its cookies. If you are trying to retrieve a cookie set by a foreign server,
467this escaping method may trip you up. Use raw_fetch() instead, which has the
468same semantics as fetch(), but performs no unescaping.
469
470You may also retrieve cookies that were stored in some external
471form using the parse() class method:
472
5cfba4ec 473 $COOKIES = `cat /some/path/Cookie_stash`;
424ec8fa
GS
474 %cookies = parse CGI::Cookie($COOKIES);
475
6d061c82
JH
476If you are in a mod_perl environment, you can save some overhead by
477passing the request object to fetch() like this:
478
479 CGI::Cookie->fetch($r);
480
424ec8fa
GS
481=head2 Manipulating Cookies
482
483Cookie objects have a series of accessor methods to get and set cookie
484attributes. Each accessor has a similar syntax. Called without
485arguments, the accessor returns the current value of the attribute.
486Called with an argument, the accessor changes the attribute and
487returns its new value.
488
489=over 4
490
491=item B<name()>
492
493Get or set the cookie's name. Example:
494
495 $name = $c->name;
496 $new_name = $c->name('fred');
497
498=item B<value()>
499
500Get or set the cookie's value. Example:
501
502 $value = $c->value;
503 @new_value = $c->value(['a','b','c','d']);
504
a3b3a725 505B<value()> is context sensitive. In a list context it will return
424ec8fa
GS
506the current value of the cookie as an array. In a scalar context it
507will return the B<first> value of a multivalued cookie.
508
509=item B<domain()>
510
511Get or set the cookie's domain.
512
513=item B<path()>
514
515Get or set the cookie's path.
516
517=item B<expires()>
518
519Get or set the cookie's expiration time.
