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
