class Morsel(

Abstract a key/value pair, which has some RFC 2109 attributes.

Morsels are dictionary-like objects, whose set of keys is constant -- the valid RFC 2109 attributes, which are

• path
• comment
• domain
• max-age
• secure
• version

The keys are case-insensitive.

set(	key, value, coded_value)

Set the key, value and coded_value members.

isReservedKey(

K)

Whether K is a member of the set of keys of a Morsel.

output(

[attrs[, header]])

Return a string representation of the Morsel, suitable to be sent as an HTTP header. By default, all the attributes are included, unless attrs is given, in which case it should be a list of attributes to use. header is by default "Set-Cookie:".

js_output(

[attrs])

Return an embeddable JavaScript snippet, which, if run on a browser which supports JavaScript, will act the same as if the HTTP header was sent.

The meaning for attrs is the same as in output().

OutputString(

[attrs])

Return a string representing the Morsel, without any surrounding HTTP or JavaScript.

The meaning for attrs is the same as in output().
