Questions tagged [cookielib]

The cookielib module defines classes for automatic handling of HTTP cookies. It is useful for accessing web sites that require small pieces of data – cookies – to be set on the client machine by an HTTP response from a web server, and then returned to the server in later HTTP requests.

The cookielib module of Python 2 defines classes for automatic handling of HTTP cookies.

The following classes are provided:

cookielib.CookieJar: stores HTTP cookies. It extracts cookies from HTTP requests and returns them in HTTP responses.

cookielib.FileCookieJar: load and save cookies from a file.

cookielib.DefaultCookiePolicy: implements the standard accept and reject rules for Netscape and RFC 2965 cookies. By default, RFC 2109 cookies are treated according to the RFC 2965 rules.

cookielib.Cookie: represents Netscape, RFC 2109 and RFC 2965 cookies.

The cookielib module has been renamed to http.cookiejar in Python 3.

For more information look at https://docs.python.org/2/library/cookielib.html
