# NAME

HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft - access to Microsoft cookies files

# SYNOPSIS

     use LWP;
     use HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft;
     use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter => "/");
     my $cookies_dir = $Registry->
          {"CUser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders/Cookies"};

     $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new(
                       file     => "$cookies_dir\\index.dat",
                       'delayload' => 1,
                   );
     my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
     $browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

# DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of `HTTP::Cookies` which loads Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x for Windows (MSIE) cookie files.

See the documentation for the HTTP::Cookies manpage.

# METHODS

The following methods are provided:

$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new;
  The constructor takes hash style parameters. In addition to the regular HTTP::Cookies parameters, HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft recognizes the following:

        delayload:       delay loading of cookie data until a request
                         is actually made. This results in faster
                         runtime unless you use most of the cookies
                         since only the domain's cookie data
                         is loaded on demand.

# CAVEATS

Please note that the code DOESN'T support saving to the MSIE cookie file format.
