Best way to load & store cookies

[thewh1teagle]

It's not clear what's the simplest way to store / load cookies from from file (in addition to maintain it in subsequent requests).
Should we use the default one from the library? or should we pass a provider like
https://github.com/pfernie/reqwest_cookie_store

Requirements:

1. Auto accumulations of cookies in subsequent requests
2. Option to get HashMap of cookies (key val)
3. Option to store them, for instance as JSON
4. Option to load them, for instance as JSON

Author of cookie_store and reqwest_cookie_store here. The reqwest::cookie::Jar implementation wraps a cookie_store::CookieStore , which is also what reqwest_cookie_store utilizes. So using reqwest_cookie_store is likely what you're looking for; it satisfies your requirements except for #2. Since cookie_store respects RCF6265 where "cookie lookup" should respect domain and path (not just name), I'm not sure it would make sense to include that in the API. But if you have more detailed thoughts/proposal there, you are welcome to open an issue or PR on cookie_store.
