<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-http.cookies" title="http.cookies: Support for HTTP state management (cookies)."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">http.cookies</span></code></a> module defines classes for abstracting the concept of
82
cookies, an HTTP state management mechanism. It supports both simple string-only
83
cookies, and provides an abstraction for having any serializable data-type as
85
<p>The module formerly strictly applied the parsing rules described in the
86
<span class="target" id="index-0"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2109.html"><strong>RFC 2109</strong></a> and <span class="target" id="index-1"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2068.html"><strong>RFC 2068</strong></a> specifications. It has since been discovered that
87
MSIE 3.0x doesn’t follow the character rules outlined in those specs and also
88
many current day browsers and servers have relaxed parsing rules when comes to
89
Cookie handling. As a result, the parsing rules used are a bit less strict.</p>
