Re: [Htmlparser-user] Cookies

[Rich W. <ri...@wi...>]

Hi Somik,

    Many websites require that have the ability to give and recieve =
cookies to properly navigate the site. The cookie information is used to =

tell the website things like who you are and where you are. It's often =
used as a sercurity measure as well to prevent spidering or data =
parsing.
A cookie jar allows for total browser emulation. Here is a similar Perl =
module that accomplishes this:

Thanks for the reply!

  Do these libraries have anything that will handle cookies? CookieJar =
functionality?

  Not yet. Can you give us a use case - we could look into adding it.
