Parse the provided headers into server cookie objects.
Params:
  • headers – The HTTP headers to parse
  • serverCookies – The server cookies object to populate with the results of the parsing
/** * Parse the provided headers into server cookie objects. * * @param headers The HTTP headers to parse * @param serverCookies The server cookies object to populate with the * results of the parsing */
void parseCookieHeader(MimeHeaders headers, ServerCookies serverCookies);
Generate the Set-Cookie HTTP header value for the given Cookie. This method receives as parameter the servlet request so that it can make decisions based on request properties. One such use-case is decide if the SameSite attribute should be added to the cookie based on the User-Agent or other request header because there are browser versions incompatible with the SameSite attribute. This is described by the Chromium project.
Params:
  • request – The servlet request
  • cookie – The cookie for which the header will be generated
Returns:The header value in a form that can be added directly to the response

Obtain the character set that will be used when converting between bytes and characters when parsing and/or generating HTTP headers for cookies.
Returns:The character set used for byte<->character conversions
