http.cookiejar.CookieJar.extract_cookies()

CookieJar.extract_cookies(response, request)

Extract cookies from HTTP response and store them in the CookieJar, where allowed by policy.

The CookieJar will look for allowable Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers in the response argument, and store cookies as appropriate (subject to the CookiePolicy.set_ok() method’s approval).

The response object (usually the result of a call to urllib.request.urlopen(), or similar) should support an info() method, which returns an email.message.Message instance.

The request object (usually a urllib.request.Request instance) must support the methods get_full_url(), get_host(), unverifiable(), and origin_req_host attribute, as documented by urllib.request. The request is used to set default values for cookie-attributes as well as for checking that the cookie is allowed to be set.
