module ActionController #:nodoc:
  # Cookies are read and written through ActionController#cookies. The cookies being read is what was received along with the request,
  # the cookies being written is what will be sent out will the response. Cookies are read by value (so you won't get the cookie object
  # itself back -- just the value it holds). Examples for writing:
  #
  #   cookies["user_name"] = "david" # => Will set a simple session cookie
  #   cookies["login"] = { :value => "XJ-122", :expires => Time.now + 360} # => Will set a cookie that expires in 1 hour
  #   
  # Examples for reading:
  #
  #   cookies["user_name"] # => "david"
  #   cookies.size         # => 2
  # 
  # Example for deleting:
  #
  #   cookies.delete "user_name"
  #
  # All the option symbols for setting cookies are:
  #
  # * <tt>value</tt> - the cookie's value or list of values (as an array).
  # * <tt>path</tt> - the path for which this cookie applies.  Defaults to the root of the application.
  # * <tt>domain</tt> - the domain for which this cookie applies.
  # * <tt>expires</tt> - the time at which this cookie expires, as a +Time+ object.
  # * <tt>secure</tt> - whether this cookie is a secure cookie or not (default to false).
  #   Secure cookies are only transmitted to HTTPS servers.
