-
--- This is a package to interface a GNAT program with a Web server via the
--- Common Gateway Interface (CGI). It exports services to deal with Web
--- cookies (piece of information kept in the Web client software).
-
--- The complete CGI Cookie specification can be found in the RFC2109 at:
--- http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/rfc2109.txt
-
--- This package builds up data tables whose memory is not released.
--- A CGI program is expected to be a short lived program and so it
--- is adequate to have the underlying OS free the program on exit.

-package GNAT.CGI.Cookie is
-
- -- The package will initialize itself by parsing the HTTP_Cookie runtime
- -- CGI environment variable during elaboration but we do not want to raise
- -- an exception at this time, so the exception Data_Error is deferred and
- -- will be raised when calling any services below (except for Ok).
-
- Cookie_Not_Found : exception;
- -- This exception is raised when a specific parameter is not found.
-
- procedure Put_Header
- (Header : String := Default_Header;
- Force : Boolean := False);
- -- Output standard CGI header by default. This header must be returned
- -- back to the server at the very beginning and will be output only for
- -- the first call to Put_Header if Force is set to False. This procedure
- -- also outputs the Cookies that have been defined. If the program uses
- -- the GNAT.CGI.Put_Header service, cookies will not be set.
- --
- -- Cookies are passed back to the server in the header, the format is:
- --
- -- Set-Cookie: <key>=<value>; comment=<comment>; domain=<domain>;
- -- max_age=<max_age>; path=<path>[; secured]
-
- function Ok return Boolean;
- -- Returns True if the CGI cookie environment is valid and False
- -- otherwise. Every service used when the CGI environment is not valid
- -- will raise the exception Data_Error.
-
- function Count return Natural;
- -- Returns the number of cookies received by the CGI.
-
- function Value
- (Key : String;
- Required : Boolean := False)
- return String;
- -- Returns the cookie value associated with the cookie named Key. If
- -- cookie does not exist, returns an empty string if Required is
- -- False and raises the exception Cookie_Not_Found otherwise.
-
- function Value (Position : Positive) return String;
- -- Returns the value associated with the cookie number Position
- -- of the CGI. It raises Cookie_Not_Found if there is no such
- -- cookie (i.e. Position > Count)
-
- function Exists (Key : String) return Boolean;
- -- Returns True if the cookie named Key exist and False otherwise.
-
- function Key (Position : Positive) return String;
- -- Returns the key associated with the cookie number Position of
- -- the CGI. It raises Cookie_Not_Found if there is no such cookie
- -- (i.e. Position > Count)
-
- procedure Set
- (Key : String;
- Value : String;
- Comment : String := "";
- Domain : String := "";
- Max_Age : Natural := Natural'Last;
- Path : String := "/";

- -- to the server by the Put_Header service above.

- -- appropriately, Position is the cookie order in the list, Quit is set to
- -- True by default. Quit can be set to False to control the iterator
