Create a new CGI::Cookie object.
The contents of the cookie can be specified as a name and one
or more value arguments.  Alternatively, the contents can be
specified as a single hash argument.  The possible keywords of this hash
are as follows:
the name of the cookie. Required.
the cookie's value or list of values.
the path for which this cookie applies. Defaults to the base directory of the CGI script.
the domain for which this cookie applies.
the time at which this cookie expires, as a Time object.
whether this cookie is a secure cookie or not (default to false). Secure cookies are only transmitted to HTTPS servers.
These keywords correspond to attributes of the cookie object.

    @secure = false
    return super(value)
  end
  options = name
  unless options.has_key?("name")
    raise ArgumentError, "`name' required"
  end
  @name = options["name"]

            Parse a raw cookie string into a hash of cookie-name=>Cookie pairs.
cookies = CGI::Cookie::parse("raw_cookie_string") # { "name1" => cookie1, "name2" => cookie2, ... }
 
               # File cgi/cookie.rb, line 124
def Cookie::parse(raw_cookie)
  cookies = Hash.new([])
  return cookies unless raw_cookie
  raw_cookie.split(/[;,]\s?/).each do |pairs|
    name, values = pairs.split('=',2)
    next unless name and values
    name = CGI::unescape(name)
    values ||= ""
    values = values.split('&').collect{|v| CGI::unescape(v) }
    if cookies.has_key?(name)
      values = cookies[name].value + values
    end
    cookies[name] = Cookie::new(name, *values)
  end
  cookies
end
             
            Set whether the Cookie is a secure cookie or not.
val must be a boolean.

def secure=(val)
  @secure = val if val == true or val == false
  @secure
end
             
            Convert the Cookie to its string representation.

  val = collect{|v| CGI::escape(v) }.join("&")

  buf << "; domain=#{@domain}" if @domain
  buf << "; path=#{@path}"     if @path
  buf << "; expires=#{CGI::rfc1123_date(@expires)}" if @expires
  buf << "; secure"            if @secure == true
