Function

SoupCookienew

Declaration [src]

SoupCookie*
soup_cookie_new (
  const char* name,
  const char* value,
  const char* domain,
  const char* path,
  int max_age
)

Description [src]

Creates a new SoupCookie with the given attributes.

Use soup_cookie_set_secure() and soup_cookie_set_http_only() if you need to set those attributes on the returned cookie.

If domain starts with “.”, that indicates a domain (which matches the string after the “.”, or any hostname that has domain as a suffix). Otherwise, it is a hostname and must match exactly.

max_age is used to set the “expires” attribute on the cookie; pass -1 to not include the attribute (indicating that the cookie expires with the current session), 0 for an already-expired cookie, or a lifetime in seconds. You can use the constants SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_HOUR, SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_DAY, SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_WEEK and SOUP_COOKIE_MAX_AGE_ONE_YEAR (or multiples thereof) to calculate this value. (If you really care about setting the exact time that the cookie will expire, use soup_cookie_set_expires().)
