CookieJar

Provides policy and persistence for HTTP cookies.

As policy, implementations of this interface are responsible for selecting which cookies to accept and which to reject. A reasonable policy is to reject all cookies, though that may interfere with session-based authentication schemes that require cookies.

As persistence, implementations of this interface must also provide storage of cookies. Simple implementations may store cookies in memory; sophisticated ones may use the file system or database to hold accepted cookies. The cookie storage model specifies policies for updating and expiring cookies.
