BaseCookie.value_encode(val) Return an encoded value. val can be any type, but return value must be a string. This method does nothing in BaseCookie — it exists so it can be overridden. In general, it should be the case that value_encode() and value_decode() are inverses on the range of value_decode.

BaseCookie.value_decode(val) Return a decoded value from a string representation. Return value can be any type. This method does nothing in BaseCookie — it exists so it can be overridden.

BaseCookie.output(attrs=None, header='Set-Cookie:', sep='\r\n') Return a string representation suitable to be sent as HTTP headers. attrs and header are sent to each Morsel‘s output() method. sep is used to join the headers together, and is by default the combination '\r\n' (CRLF).

BaseCookie.load(rawdata) If rawdata is a string, parse it as an HTTP_COOKIE and add the values found there as Morsels. If it is a dictionary, it is equivalent to: for k, v in rawdata.items(): cookie[k] = v

BaseCookie.js_output(attrs=None) Return an embeddable JavaScript snippet, which, if run on a browser which supports JavaScript, will act the same as if the HTTP headers was sent. The meaning for attrs is the same as in output().

class http.cookies.BaseCookie([input]) This class is a dictionary-like object whose keys are strings and whose values are Morsel instances. Note that upon setting a key to a value, the value is first converted to a Morsel containing the key and the value. If input is given, it is passed to the load() method.

class http.cookiejar.MozillaCookieJar(filename, delayload=None, policy=None) A FileCookieJar that can load from and save cookies to disk in the Mozilla cookies.txt file format (which is also used by the Lynx and Netscape browsers). Note This loses information about RFC 2965 cookies, and also about newer or non-standard cookie-attributes such as port. Warning Back up your cookies before saving if you have cookies whose loss / corruption would be inconvenient (there are some subtleties whic

class http.cookiejar.LWPCookieJar(filename, delayload=None, policy=None) A FileCookieJar that can load from and save cookies to disk in format compatible with the libwww-perl library’s Set-Cookie3 file format. This is convenient if you want to store cookies in a human-readable file.

exception http.cookiejar.LoadError Instances of FileCookieJar raise this exception on failure to load cookies from a file. LoadError is a subclass of OSError. Changed in version 3.3: LoadError was made a subclass of OSError instead of IOError.

FileCookieJar.save(filename=None, ignore_discard=False, ignore_expires=False) Save cookies to a file. This base class raises NotImplementedError. Subclasses may leave this method unimplemented. filename is the name of file in which to save cookies. If filename is not specified, self.filename is used (whose default is the value passed to the constructor, if any); if self.filename is None, ValueError is raised. ignore_discard: save even cookies set to be discarded. ignore_expires: save even co
