Class HttpCookie

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable

    public final class HttpCookie
    extends Object
    implements Cloneable
    An HttpCookie object represents an http cookie, which carries state information between server and user agent. Cookie is widely adopted to create stateful sessions.

    There are 3 http cookie specifications:

    Netscape draft
    RFC 2109 - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt
    RFC 2965 - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2965.txt

    HttpCookie class can accept all these 3 forms of syntax.

    • Constructor Detail

      • HttpCookie

        public HttpCookie(String name,
                  String value)
        Constructs a cookie with a specified name and value.

        The name must conform to RFC 2965. That means it can contain only ASCII alphanumeric characters and cannot contain commas, semicolons, or white space or begin with a $ character. The cookie's name cannot be changed after creation.

        The value can be anything the server chooses to send. Its value is probably of interest only to the server. The cookie's value can be changed after creation with the setValue method.

        By default, cookies are created according to the RFC 2965 cookie specification. The version can be changed with the setVersion method.

        Parameters:
        name - a String specifying the name of the cookie
        value - a String specifying the value of the cookie
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the cookie name contains illegal characters or it is one of the tokens reserved for use by the cookie protocol
        NullPointerException - if name is null
        See Also:
        setValue(java.lang.String), setVersion(int)
    • Method Detail

      • parse

        public static List<HttpCookie> parse(String header)
        Constructs cookies from set-cookie or set-cookie2 header string. RFC 2965 section 3.2.2 set-cookie2 syntax indicates that one header line may contain more than one cookie definitions, so this is a static utility method instead of another constructor.
        Parameters:
        header - a String specifying the set-cookie header. The header should start with "set-cookie", or "set-cookie2" token; or it should have no leading token at all.
        Returns:
        a List of cookie parsed from header line string
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if header string violates the cookie specification's syntax, or the cookie name contains llegal characters, or the cookie name is one of the tokens reserved for use by the cookie protocol
        NullPointerException - if the header string is null
      • hasExpired

        public boolean hasExpired()
        Reports whether this http cookie has expired or not.
        Returns:
        true to indicate this http cookie has expired; otherwise, false

        A positive value indicates that the cookie will expire after that many seconds have passed. Note that the value is the maximum age when the cookie will expire, not the cookie's current age.

        A negative value means that the cookie is not stored persistently and will be deleted when the Web browser exits. A zero value causes the cookie to be deleted.

        Parameters:
        expiry - an integer specifying the maximum age of the cookie in seconds; if zero, the cookie should be discarded immediately; otherwise, the cookie's max age is unspecified.
        See Also:

        getVersion()
      • isHttpOnly

        public boolean isHttpOnly()
        Returns true if this cookie contains the HttpOnly attribute. This means that the cookie should not be accessible to scripting engines, like javascript.
        Returns:
        true if this cookie should be considered http only.
        See Also:
        setHttpOnly(boolean)
      • setHttpOnly

        public void setHttpOnly(boolean httpOnly)
        Indicates whether the cookie should be considered HTTP Only. If set to true it means the cookie should not be accessible to scripting engines like javascript.
        Parameters:
        httpOnly - if true make the cookie HTTP only, i.e. only visible as part of an HTTP request.
        See Also:
        isHttpOnly()
      • domainMatches

        public static boolean domainMatches(String domain,
                            String host)
        The utility method to check whether a host name is in a domain or not.

        This concept is described in the cookie specification. To understand the concept, some terminologies need to be defined first:

        effective host name = hostname if host name contains dot
                         or = hostname.local if not

        Host A's name domain-matches host B's if:

        • their host name strings string-compare equal; or
        • A is a HDN string and has the form NB, where N is a non-empty name string, B has the form .B', and B' is a HDN string. (So, x.y.com domain-matches .Y.com but not Y.com.)

        A host isn't in a domain (RFC 2965 sec. 3.3.2) if:

        • The value for the Domain attribute contains no embedded dots, and the value is not .local.
        • The effective host name that derives from the request-host does not domain-match the Domain attribute.
        • The request-host is a HDN (not IP address) and has the form HD, where D is the value of the Domain attribute, and H is a string that contains one or more dots.

        Examples:

        • A Set-Cookie2 from request-host y.x.foo.com for Domain=.foo.com would be rejected, because H is y.x and contains a dot.
        • A Set-Cookie2 from request-host x.foo.com for Domain=.foo.com would be accepted.
        • A Set-Cookie2 with Domain=.com or Domain=.com., will always be rejected, because there is no embedded dot.
        • A Set-Cookie2 with Domain=ajax.com will be accepted, and the value for Domain will be taken to be .ajax.com, because a dot gets prepended to the value.
        • A Set-Cookie2 from request-host example for Domain=.local will be accepted, because the effective host name for the request- host is example.local, and example.local domain-matches .local.
        Parameters:
        domain - the domain name to check host name with
        host - the host name in question
        Returns:
        true if they domain-matches; false if not
      • toString

        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        a string form of the cookie. The string has the defined format
      • equals

        public boolean equals(Object obj)
        Test the equality of two http cookies.

        The result is true only if two cookies come from same domain (case-insensitive), have same name (case-insensitive), and have same path (case-sensitive).

        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
        Parameters:
        obj - the reference object with which to compare.

        Object.hashCode(), HashMap
      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Return hash code of this http cookie. The result is the sum of hash code value of three significant components of this cookie: name, domain, and path. That is, the hash code is the value of the expression:
        getName().toLowerCase().hashCode()
        + getDomain().toLowerCase().hashCode()
        + getPath().hashCode()
        Overrides:
