ABSTRACT:
A method of handling cookies defines a scope attribute, which is in addition to a domain attribute and path attribute. The method allocates separate storage areas for cookies according to identified scopes and a global storage area for cookies with unidentified scopes. The method determines if a cookie received with a response includes an identified scope. If so, the method stores the cookie in the storage area allocated to the identified scope of the cookie. If the cookie has an unidentified scope, the method stores the cookie in the global storage area. The method determines a scope, domain and path for an outgoing request. The method retrieves and attaches to the outgoing request cookies from the global storage area having the determined domain and path. If the outgoing request is associated with an identified scope, the method additionally retrieves all cookies having the determined domain and path from the storage area allocated to the scope of the outgoing request and attaches the retrieved cookies to the outgoing request.
