Class SplitCookieService

java.lang.Object
org.forgerock.openig.cookie.SplitCookieService
public final class SplitCookieService extends Object
Split a target cookie that is bigger than 4Kb (see RFC 6265) into smaller cookies.

If the tracked cookie is too big, it is replaced by several cookies named [originalCookieName][partNumber].

If a tracked split cookie is found in a request, it is reassembled transparently.

If the cookie name maps multiple cookies, only the first one will be taken into account.

For example, if the tracked cookie is named "myCookie" and is 10Kb long, then it will be split into 3 cookies named : "myCookie0", "myCookie1" and "myCookie2", the 2 first weighting 4Kb and the last 2Kb.
