HTTP State Management Mechanism

Документ "RFC 6265 - HTTP State Management Mechanism" сделал устаревшим документ "RFC 2965 - HTTP State Management Mechanism"

Abstract

This document defines the HTTP Cookie and Set-Cookie header fields. These header fields can be used by HTTP servers to store state (called cookies) at HTTP user agents, letting the servers maintain a stateful session over the mostly stateless HTTP protocol. Although cookies have many historical infelicities that degrade their security and privacy, the Cookie and Set-Cookie header fields are widely used on the Internet. This document obsoletes RFC 2965.
