[aerogear-dev] Cookie Management APIs / Specs

[Christos Vasilakis]

Hi,

in iOS there is shared singleton object (per app) NSHTTPCookieStorage that provides and API for the user to manipulate cookies per se. Not sure I understand but you mean accessing the cookies associated with Pipe  and have a way to manipulate them instead of going through the underlying platforms cookie manager.. ?

Thanks,
Christos

But even beyond that, for the most part the browser handles cookies for us, passing them around and modifying them when necessary based on headers it receives so there is rarely the need to mess with cookies manually at all.
