HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft - Access to Microsoft cookies files
version 6.04
use LWP;
use HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft;
use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter => "/");
my $cookies_dir = $Registry->
{"CUser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders/Cookies"};
$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new(
file => "$cookies_dir\\index.dat",
'delayload' => 1,
);
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );
This is a subclass of "HTTP::Cookies" which loads Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.x and 6.x for Windows (MSIE) cookie files.
See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies.
The following methods are provided:
- $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new;
- The constructor takes hash style parameters. In addition to the regular
HTTP::Cookies parameters, HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft recognizes the
following:
delayload: delay loading of cookie data until a request
is actually made. This results in faster
runtime unless you use most of the cookies
since only the domain's cookie data
is loaded on demand.
Please note that the code DOESN'T support saving to the MSIE cookie file format.
