Cookie Generator

Daniel E. Renfer
Lately I've been doing several things where I need to read the values
of cookies. Using the Request Generator works, but considering all of
the cookies are crammed together in a semi-colon separated string, it
can make it a bit difficult to work with cookie values in XPath.

To make my job a little easier, I wrote a simple processor to parse
those values and output them in an easy-to-swallow format. Since this
seems like something that other people might find useful, I thought I
would pass it along. If the Orbeon guys want to take it, feel free.
(just replace my name with yours, attribution appreciated) Otherwise,
the mailing list archive will serve as it's home.

The processor is very simple. It takes no inputs, and returns as it's
output a <cookies> element containing 0 to many <cookie> elements,
each containing a <name> and <value> element.

Note: Don't be confused by it's name. I call it a generator because it
generates an XML representation of the cookies sent with the current
request. It does not generate cookies on the client.
