nscjar is a small golang package used to parse and output Netscape/Mozilla's old-school cookie files. It also implements a simple cookie jar struct to manage the cookies added to the cookie jar.
The usage is simple. The cookie data file has a simple format.
DOMAIN FLAGS PATH SECURE EXPIRY_TIMESTAMP NAME VALUE
some.com TRUE / TRUE 15333423 lang en_US
Parsing this in go is simple.
jar := nscjar.Parser{}
cookies, err := jar.Unmarshal(f) // f : io.Reader
...handle error...And writing back to file is very simple too :
jar := nscjar.Parser{}
jar.Marshal(w, c) // w : io.Writer, c : http.CookieSee the test.go file for the usage.
The cookie jar is used to manage the cookie data added to the struct.
Usage is simple. Say you have a HTTP Response object (r := http.Response{}).
jar := nscjar.NewCookieJar()
jar.AddCookies(r.Cookies()) // To add multiple *http.Cookie at the same time.
// Unmarshalling it to a Netscape Cookie file format is easy.
f, _ := os.OpenFile("cookie.txt", os.O_CREATE|os.O_RDWR, 0666)
// please do the error checks.
jar.Marshal(f) // any io.Writer will do. This returns an error.
