rails latest stable - Class: CGI::Cookie

new(name = '', *value)

public

The contents of the cookie can be specified as a name and one or more value arguments. Alternatively, the contents can be specified as a single hash argument. The possible keywords of this hash are as follows:

:name - The name of the cookie. Required.
:value - The cookie’s value or list of values.
:path - The path for which this cookie applies. Defaults to the base directory of the CGI script.
:domain - The domain for which this cookie applies.
:expires - The time at which this cookie expires, as a Time object.
:secure - Whether this cookie is a secure cookie or not (defaults to false). Secure cookies are only transmitted to HTTPS servers.
:http_only - Whether this cookie can be accessed by client side scripts (e.g. document.cookie) or only over HTTP. More details in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httpcookie.httponly.aspx. Defaults to false.

These keywords correspond to attributes of the cookie object.
