cookie is a basic cookie parser and serializer. It doesn't make assumptions about how you are going to deal with your cookies. It basically just provides a way to read and write the HTTP cookie headers.
See [RFC6265](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265) for details about the http header for cookies.
## how?
```
npm install cookie
```
```javascript
var cookie = require('cookie');
var hdr = cookie.serialize('foo', 'bar');
// hdr = 'foo=bar';
var cookies = cookie.parse('foo=bar; cat=meow; dog=ruff');
// cookies = { foo: 'bar', cat: 'meow', dog: 'ruff' };
```
## more
The serialize function takes a third parameter, an object, to set cookie options. See the RFC for valid values.
### path

### expires

### maxAge
