werkzeug.parse_cookie¶

werkzeug.parse_cookie(header, charset='utf-8', errors='replace', cls=None)[source]¶

Parse a cookie. Either from a string or WSGI environ.

Per default encoding errors are ignored. If you want a different behavior you can set errors to 'replace' or 'strict'. In strict mode a HTTPUnicodeError is raised.

Changed in version 0.5: This function now returns a TypeConversionDict instead of a regular dict. The cls parameter was added.

Parameters:	header – the header to be used to parse the cookie. Alternatively this can be a WSGI environment. charset – the charset for the cookie values. errors – the error behavior for the charset decoding. cls – an optional dict class to use. If this is not specified or None the default TypeConversionDict is used.
