| | RFC 2965 (rfc2965) - HTTP State Management Mechanism |
| | The request-port of a cookie is the request-port of the request in which a Set-Cookie2 response header was returned to the user agent. | | | The cookie inspection user interface may include a facility whereby a user can decide, at the time the user agent receives the Set-Cookie2 response header, whether or not to accept the cookie. | | | An infrequently-used cookie may function as a "preferences file" for network applications, and a user may wish to keep it even if it is the least-recently-used cookie. |

| | Client Side State - HTTP Cookies |

| | After a cookie is transmitted through an HTTP header, it is stored in the memory of your browser. | | | Montulli says there's nothing particularly amusing about the origin of the name: 'A cookie is a well-known computer science term that is used when describing an opaque piece of data held by an intermediary. | | | Creating a cookie generally involves duplicating the HTTP cookie header in some fashion so that the browser will store the name-value pair in memory. |
