An HTTP cookie is data sent by a server in an HTTP response to a client. The client can then
return an updated cookie value in subsequent requests to the server. For example, this enables
the server to store user preferences, manage sessions, track browsing habits, and so on.
The Create Cookie filter is used to create a Set-Cookie header
or a Cookie header. The Set-Cookie header is used when the server
instructs the client to store a cookie. The Cookie header is used when a client
sends a cookie to a server. This filter adds the appropriate HTTP cookie header to the message
header, and saves the cookie as a message attribute.
For more details, see the topic on the Get
Cookie filter.
