http.cookies — HTTP状态管理

源代码: Lib/http/cookies.py


http.cookies 模块定义的类将 cookie 的概念抽象了出来,这是一种 HTTP 状态的管理机制。它既支持简单的纯字符串形式的 cookie,也为任何可序列化数据类型的 cookie 提供抽象。

以前,该模块严格套用 RFC 2109RFC 2068 规范中描述的解析规则。后来人们发现,MSIE 3.0 并不遵循这些规范中的字符规则,而且目前许多浏览器和服务器在处理 cookie 时也放宽了解析规则。 因此,这里用到的解析规则没有那么严格。

字符集 string.ascii_lettersstring.digits!#$%&'*+-.^_`|~: 给出了本模块允许出现在 cookie 名称中的有效字符集(如 key)。

在 3.3 版更改: “:”字符可用于有效的 cookie 名称。

备注

On encountering an invalid cookie, CookieError is raised, so if your cookie data comes from a browser you should always prepare for invalid data and catch CookieError on parsing.

exception http.cookies.CookieError

Exception failing because of RFC 2109 invalidity: incorrect attributes, incorrect Set-Cookie header, etc.

class http.cookies.BaseCookie([input])

This class is a dictionary-like object whose keys are strings and whose values are Morsel instances. Note that upon setting a key to a value, the value is first converted to a Morsel containing the key and the value.

If input is given, it is passed to the load() method.

class http.cookies.SimpleCookie([input])

This class derives from BaseCookie and overrides value_decode() and value_encode(). SimpleCookie supports strings as cookie values. When setting the value, SimpleCookie calls the builtin str() to convert the value to a string. Values received from HTTP are kept as strings.

Module http.cookiejar

HTTP cookie handling for web clients. The http.cookiejar and http.cookies modules do not depend on each other.

RFC 2109 - HTTP状态管理机制

This is the state management specification implemented by this module.

Morsel 对象

class http.cookies.Morsel

Abstract a key/value pair, which has some RFC 2109 attributes.

Morsels are dictionary-like objects, whose set of keys is constant — the valid RFC 2109 attributes, which are

  • expires

  • path

  • comment

  • domain

  • max-age

  • secure

  • version

  • httponly

  • samesite

The attribute httponly specifies that the cookie is only transferred in HTTP requests, and is not accessible through JavaScript. This is intended to mitigate some forms of cross-site scripting.

The attribute samesite specifies that the browser is not allowed to send the cookie along with cross-site requests. This helps to mitigate CSRF attacks. Valid values for this attribute are “Strict” and “Lax”.

The keys are case-insensitive and their default value is ''.

在 3.5 版更改: __eq__() now takes key and value into account.

在 3.7 版更改: Attributes key, value and coded_value are read-only. Use set() for setting them.

在 3.8 版更改: Added support for the samesite attribute.

Morsel.value

Cookie的值。

Morsel.coded_value

The encoded value of the cookie — this is what should be sent.

Morsel.key

The name of the cookie.

Morsel.set(key, value, coded_value)

Set the key, value and coded_value attributes.

Morsel.isReservedKey(K)

Whether K is a member of the set of keys of a Morsel.

Morsel.output(attrs=None, header='Set-Cookie:')

Return a string representation of the Morsel, suitable to be sent as an HTTP header. By default, all the attributes are included, unless attrs is given, in which case it should be a list of attributes to use. header is by default "Set-Cookie:".

Morsel.js_output(attrs=None)

Return an embeddable JavaScript snippet, which, if run on a browser which supports JavaScript, will act the same as if the HTTP header was sent.

The meaning for attrs is the same as in output().

Morsel.OutputString(attrs=None)

Return a string representing the Morsel, without any surrounding HTTP or JavaScript.

The meaning for attrs is the same as in output().

Morsel.update(values)

Update the values in the Morsel dictionary with the values in the dictionary values. Raise an error if any of the keys in the values dict is not a valid RFC 2109 attribute.

在 3.5 版更改: an error is raised for invalid keys.

Morsel.copy(value)

Return a shallow copy of the Morsel object.

在 3.5 版更改: return a Morsel object instead of a dict.

Morsel.setdefault(key, value=None)

Raise an error if key is not a valid RFC 2109 attribute, otherwise behave the same as dict.setdefault().

示例

The following example demonstrates how to use the http.cookies module.

>>> from http import cookies
>>> C = cookies.SimpleCookie()
>>> C["fig"] = "newton"
>>> C["sugar"] = "wafer"
>>> print(C) # generate HTTP headers
Set-Cookie: fig=newton
Set-Cookie: sugar=wafer
>>> print(C.output()) # same thing
Set-Cookie: fig=newton
Set-Cookie: sugar=wafer
>>> C = cookies.SimpleCookie()
>>> C["rocky"] = "road"
>>> C["rocky"]["path"] = "/cookie"
>>> print(C.output(header="Cookie:"))
Cookie: rocky=road; Path=/cookie
>>> print(C.output(attrs=[], header="Cookie:"))
Cookie: rocky=road
>>> C = cookies.SimpleCookie()
>>> C.load("chips=ahoy; vienna=finger") # load from a string (HTTP header)
>>> print(C)
Set-Cookie: chips=ahoy
Set-Cookie: vienna=finger
>>> C = cookies.SimpleCookie()
>>> C.load('keebler="E=everybody; L=\\"Loves\\"; fudge=\\012;";')
>>> print(C)
Set-Cookie: keebler="E=everybody; L=\"Loves\"; fudge=\012;"
>>> C = cookies.SimpleCookie()
>>> C["oreo"] = "doublestuff"
>>> C["oreo"]["path"] = "/"
>>> print(C)
Set-Cookie: oreo=doublestuff; Path=/
>>> C = cookies.SimpleCookie()
>>> C["twix"] = "none for you"
>>> C["twix"].value
'none for you'
>>> C = cookies.SimpleCookie()
>>> C["number"] = 7 # equivalent to C["number"] = str(7)
>>> C["string"] = "seven"
>>> C["number"].value
'7'
>>> C["string"].value
'seven'
>>> print(C)
Set-Cookie: number=7
Set-Cookie: string=seven
