#NAME

HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft - Access to Microsoft cookies files

#VERSION

version 6.11

#SYNOPSIS

use LWP;
use HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft;
use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter => "/");
my $cookies_dir = $Registry->
     {"CUser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders/Cookies"};

$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new(
                  file     => "$cookies_dir\\index.dat",
                  'delayload' => 1,
              );
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

#DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of HTTP::Cookies which loads Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x for Windows (MSIE) cookie files.

See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies.

#METHODS

The following methods are provided:

#$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new;

The constructor takes hash style parameters. In addition to the regular HTTP::Cookies parameters, HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft recognizes the following:

delayload:       delay loading of cookie data until a request
                 is actually made. This results in faster
                 runtime unless you use most of the cookies
                 since only the domain's cookie data
                 is loaded on demand.

#CAVEATS

Please note that the code DOESN'T support saving to the MSIE cookie file format.
