Add ruby-http-cookie package version 1.0.2.
HTTP::Cookie is a ruby library to handle HTTP cookies in a way both
compliant with RFCs and compatible with today's major browsers.
It was originally a part of the
[Mechanize](https://github.com/sparklemotion/mechanize) library,
separated as an independent library in the hope of serving as a common
component that is reusable from any HTTP related piece of software.
The following is an incomplete list of its features:
* Its behavior is highly compatible with that of today's major web
browsers.
* It is based on and conforms to RFC 6265 (the latest standard for the
HTTP cookie mechanism) to a high extent, with real world conventions
deeply in mind.
* It takes eTLD (effective TLD, also known as "Public Suffix") into
account just as major browsers do, to reject cookies with an eTLD
domain like "org", "co.jp", or "appspot.com". \
This feature is
brought to you by the domain_name gem.
* The number of cookies and the size are properly capped so that a
cookie store does not get flooded.
* It supports the legacy Netscape cookies.txt format for
serialization, maximizing the interoperability with other
implementations.
* It supports the cookies.sqlite format adopted by Mozilla Firefox for
backend store database which can be shared among multiple program
instances.
* It is relatively easy to add a new serialization format or a backend
store because of its modular API.
