This document defines the HTTP Cookie and Set-Cookie headers.  These
headers can be used by HTTP servers to store state on HTTP user
agents, letting the servers maintain a stateful session over the
mostly stateless HTTP protocol.  The cookie protocol has many
historical infelicities and should be avoided for new applications of
HTTP.
