This module implements the cookie hooks called from http_open/3, adding cookie handling to the client.

This library supports a notion of clients. A client is a (ground) term to which a cookie database is connected. This allows a single Prolog process to act as multiple clients. The default client is called default. Use the option client(+ClientId) to select another client.

The client and cookie database can be inspected and cleared using these predicates.

• cookie_remove_client/1
• cookie_remove_all_clients/0
• cookie_current_cookie/4
