About

Have you ever needed to get httpOnly cookies to use in your application? No? Doesn't matter, this library gives you this power!

It gets all cookies from all Firefox containers too! :D

Why?

This is needed to interface with authentication in some websites.

Currently, you can see this library used in thisago/clibard

How?

It will start an HTTP server that waits the extension requests the website which you want the cookies and send to server the wanted cookies.

When the server receives the cookies, it closes itself and return the cookie for you!
