Description

Set http header to create a cookie which, if emitted to a browser that is cookie-capable, will cause the cookie to be included subject to defined restrictions.

Example: make_cookie email karl@neosoft.com -days 30 -path /myApp

Create a cookie named email containing karl@neosoft.com that will be included in all HTTP requests from the browser we´re responding to, for a period of 30 days, when the requests are underneath/myApp on this server, and the browser is cookie-enabled.

For more information, see Persistent Client State HTTP Cookies at Netscape, and also Which Browsers Support Cookies at Digital.

This only works if it´s emitted before any HTML.
