HTTP cookie parsing and cookie jar management.
This crates provides the Cookie type, representing an HTTP cookie, and
the CookieJar type, which manages a collection of cookies for session
management, recording changes as they are made, and optional automatic
cookie encryption and signing.
Usage
Add the following to the [dependencies] section of your Cargo.toml:
cookie = "0.17"
Features
This crate exposes several features, all of which are disabled by default:
-
percent-encodeEnables percent encoding and decoding of names and values in cookies.
When this feature is enabled, the
Cookie::encoded()andCookie::parse_encoded()methods are available. Theencodedmethod returns a wrapper around aCookiewhoseDisplayimplementation percent-encodes the name and value of the cookie. Theparse_encodedmethod percent-decodes the name and value of aCookieduring parsing. -
signedEnables signed cookies via
CookieJar::signed().When this feature is enabled, the
CookieJar::signed()method,SignedJartype, andKeytype are available. The jar acts as “child jar”; operations on the jar automatically sign and verify cookies as they are added and retrieved from the parent jar. -
privateEnables private (authenticated, encrypted) cookies via
CookieJar::private().When this feature is enabled, the
CookieJar::private()method,PrivateJartype, andKeytype are available. The jar acts as “child jar”; operations on the jar automatically encrypt and decrypt/authenticate cookies as they are added and retrieved from the parent jar. -
key-expansionEnables key expansion or key derivation via
Key::derive_from().When this feature is enabled, and either
signedorprivateare also enabled, theKey::derive_from()method is available. The method can be used to derive aKeystructure appropriate for use with signed and private jars from cryptographically valid key material that is shorter in length than the full key. -
secureA meta-feature that simultaneously enables
signed,private, andkey-expansion.
You can enable features via Cargo.toml:
[dependencies.cookie]
features = ["secure", "percent-encode"]
