#16 setCookie() with more parameters

[mosh]

Wouldn't it be possible to add some more features to
the setCookie() function in /src/util/cookie.js? in my
apps i'm using a function like this:

this.setCookie = function(cookie_name, cookie_value,
cookie_lifetime, cookie_path, cookie_domain, is_secure) {
if (!cookie_name) {
return false;
}

document.cookie = escape(cookie_name) + '=' +
escape(cookie_value) + (cookie_lifetime ? ';expires=' +
(new Date((new Date()).getTime() + (1000 *
cookie_lifetime))).toGMTString() : '' ) + (cookie_path
? ';cookie_path=' + cookie_path : '') + (cookie_domain
? ';cookie_domain=' + cookie_domain : '') + (is_secure
? ';secure' : '');

if (cookie_lifetime < 0) {
if (typeof this.getCookie(cookie_name) ==
'string') {
return false;
}
return true;
}

if (typeof this.getCookie(cookie_name) ==
'string') {
return true;
}
return false;
}

It's a feature request. Sorry, I thought it was submitted
as a Feature Request. Well, the "Group" was Feature Request
but the "Data Type" field was set to Bugs. I've changed the
type. Please use Bugs for something broken, and Feature
Requests for something new. Don't forget to double check
all those boxes and such. :)

Okay. I am cool with this. However, if we ARE going to add
an enhanced setCookie, them we might as well add an enhanced
deleteCookie, getCookie and maybe cloneCookie ect ect.

Also: I would like to see setCookie, as complex as it is,
still be able to be used in "simple mode" I.e
setCookie("login=1") or whatever.

also I would imagion deleteCookie taking whildcards and such :-P

Alos: as always we will want to ensure that any new cookie
manager be cross-browser (and tested as such)

cheers
