Method Detail

### parse

    public List<Cookie> parse(Header header,
                              CookieOrigin origin)
                       throws MalformedCookieException

  Parses the Set-Cookie value into an array of `Cookie`s.

  Syntax of the Set-Cookie HTTP Response Header:

  This is the format a CGI script would use to add to the HTTP headers a new piece of data which is to be stored by the client for later retrieval.

        Set-Cookie: NAME=VALUE; expires=DATE; path=PATH; domain=DOMAIN_NAME; secure

  Please note that the Netscape draft specification does not fully conform to the HTTP header format. Comma character if present in `Set-Cookie` will not be treated as a header element separator

  Parameters:
    `header` - the `Set-Cookie` received from the server
    `origin` - details of the cookie origin
  Returns:
    an array of `Cookie`s parsed from the Set-Cookie value
  Throws:
    `MalformedCookieException` - if an exception occurs during parsing
  See Also:
    The Cookie Spec.
