new(name = "", *value)

public

The contents of the cookie can be specified as a name and one or more value arguments. Alternatively, the contents can be specified as a single hash argument. The possible keywords of this hash are as follows:

name:	the name of the cookie. Required.
value:	the cookie’s value or list of values.
path:	the path for which this cookie applies. Defaults to the base directory of the CGI script.
domain:	the domain for which this cookie applies.
expires:	the time at which this cookie expires, as a `Time` object.
secure:	whether this cookie is a secure cookie or not (default to false). Secure cookies are only transmitted to HTTPS servers.

These keywords correspond to attributes of the cookie object.
