the format is quite simple, but not very descriptive in itself. i searched a bit and found a description somewhere on the net. here is the description of each field, with some personal comments added:
domain - The domain that created AND that can
read the variable.
flag - A TRUE/FALSE value indicating if all
machines within a given domain can access the variable. This value is set
automatically by the browser, depending on the value you set for
domain.
path - The path within the domain that the
variable is valid for. ['/' represents the root directory]
secure - A TRUE/FALSE value indicating
if a secure connection with the domain is needed to access the variable. [a secure connection is one established using https, this is not the case for the website you are interrested in]
expiration - The UNIX time that the variable will expire on.
UNIX time is defined as the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00
GMT. [for easier computation, look in <time.h>, the definition of time_t may be identical... from my experience the expiration date for a never-expiring cookie varies greatly from site to site, i am aware of at least 2 onventions for encoding such a cookie. i don't know what the expiration date of a cookie set by javascript should be (it is most certainly a session cookie, so it should have an expiration value of 0)]
name - The name of the variable.
value - The
value of the variable.
