The HTTPCookie accessor gets and sets Cookies on the HTTP transport. It generates and consumes cookie data in an XML form making it easy to process cookies in a general XML application. The XML form of a cookie is

<cookie>
  <name>somecookieid</name>
  <value>some value</value>
  <path>somepath</path>
  <domain>somedomain</domain>
  <secure>is secure</secure>
  <maxage>some expiry</maxage>
  <comment>some comment</comment>
</cookie>

The elements name and value are mandatory, other elements can optionally be set.

Operator Syntax

The HTTPCookie accessor takes an operator argument which indicates whether to get or set a cookie. If get is used the get element contains the name of the cookie to retrieve. If set is used an XMLized cookie must be provided as the param on the instruction.

<cookie>
<set /> or
<get>cookieName</get>
</cookie>
