/**
 * An HttpCookie object represents an HTTP cookie, which carries state
 * information between server and user agent. Cookie is widely adopted
 * to create stateful sessions.
 *
 * <p> There are 3 HTTP cookie specifications:
 * <blockquote>
 *   Netscape draft<br>
 *   RFC 2109 - <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt">
 * <i>http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt</i></a><br>
 *   RFC 2965 - <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2965.txt">
 * <i>http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2965.txt</i></a>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p> HttpCookie class can accept all these 3 forms of syntax.
