Why Microsoft cozied up to open source at OSCON

08-04-2008 11:00 AM
Last month at O'Reilly's Open Source Convention (OSCON), it seemed like Microsoft was everywhere you looked, avouching its interest in open source. Thanks to the company's history -- including some very recent history -- a great many in the open source community viewed the company's presence with mistrust, suspicious of Redmond's motives and apprehensive of what would follow. Surely Microsoft must want something, so what is it?

http::cookies::microsoft

HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft(3)

NAME

       HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft - access to Microsoft cookies files

SYNOPSIS

	use LWP;
	use HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft;
	use Win32::TieRegistry(Delimiter => "/");
	my $cookies_dir = $Registry->
	     {"CUser/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders/Cookies"};

	$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new(
			  file	   => "$cookies_dir\index.dat",
			  'delayload' => 1,
		      );
	my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
	$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

DESCRIPTION

       This is a subclass of "HTTP::Cookies" which loads Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x for Windows (MSIE) cookie files.

       See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies.

METHODS

       The following methods are provided:

       $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft->new;
	   The constructor takes hash style parameters. In addition to the regular HTTP::Cookies parameters, HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft recognizes
	   the following:

	     delayload:       delay loading of cookie data until a request
			      is actually made. This results in faster
			      runtime unless you use most of the cookies
			      since only the domain's cookie data
			      is loaded on demand.

CAVEATS

       Please note that the code DOESN'T support saving to the MSIE cookie file format.
