Webrick and Cookies

[Guest]

Using a WEBrick::HTTPServer can some point me to an example
of using cookies with Webrick? Even better would an example of using sessions.

I am writing an application that, hopefully, will run on Apache and Webrick.

Thanks!

Look at webrick/cookie.rb. It think you can write:

cookie = Webrick::Cookie.new(name, value)
response.cookies += cookie

But be careful, it looks like Webrick does not take care of any special
characters in the cookie value.

I wonder if it could be possibile to unify Webrick::Cookie and
CGI::Cookie, and provide a WEBRick::Something to be used with
CGI::Session.
I believe that having a simple Session mechanism in webrick would be
really useful, or people is going to implement it by themself
continuosly (with resulting slow, buggy, unsecure implementations)
