Class CookieEncoder

java.lang.Object
  org.jboss.netty.handler.codec.http.CookieEncoder

public class CookieEncoder
extends Object

Encodes Cookies into an HTTP header value. This encoder can encode the HTTP cookie version 0, 1, and 2.

This encoder is stateful. It maintains an internal data structure that holds the Cookies added by the addCookie(String, String) method. Once encode() is called, all added Cookies are encoded into an HTTP header value and all Cookies in the internal data structure are removed so that the encoder can start over.

 // Client-side example
 HttpRequest req = ...;
 CookieEncoder encoder = new CookieEncoder(false);
 encoder.addCookie("JSESSIONID", "1234");
 res.setHeader("Cookie", encoder.encode());

 // Server-side example
 HttpResponse res = ...;
 CookieEncoder encoder = new CookieEncoder(true);
 encoder.addCookie("JSESSIONID", "1234");
 res.setHeader("Set-Cookie", encoder.encode());
