\subsection{cookielib}
The \module{cookielib} library supports client-side handling for HTTP
cookies, just as the \module{Cookie} provides server-side cookie
support in CGI scripts. This library manages cookies in a way similar
to web browsers. Cookies are stored in cookie jars; the library
transparently stores cookies offered by the web server in the cookie
jar, and fetches the cookie from the jar when connecting to the
server. Similar to web browsers, policy objects control whether
cookies are accepted or not.
In order to store cookies across sessions, two implementations of
cookie jars are provided: one that stores cookies in the Netscape
format, so applications can use the Mozilla or Lynx cookie jars, and
one that stores cookies in the same format as the Perl libwww libary.
\module{urllib2} has been changed to interact with \module{cookielib}:
\class{HTTPCookieProcessor} manages a cookie jar that is used when
accessing URLs.
