/**

*
* Provides methods for setting and getting cookies in the context of a
* page load. See nsICookieManager for methods to manipulate the cookie
* database directly. This separation of interface is mainly historical.
*
* This service broadcasts the following notifications when the cookie
* list is changed, or a cookie is rejected:
*
* topic : "cookie-changed"
* broadcast whenever the cookie list changes in some way. there
* are four possible data strings for this notification; one
* notification will be broadcast for each change, and will involve
* a single cookie.
* subject: an nsICookie2 interface pointer representing the cookie object
* that changed.
* data : "deleted"
* a cookie was deleted. the subject is the deleted cookie.
* "added"
* a cookie was added. the subject is the added cookie.
* "changed"
* a cookie was changed. the subject is the new cookie.
* "cleared"
* the entire cookie list was cleared. the subject is null.
*
* topic : "cookie-rejected"
* broadcast whenever a cookie was rejected from being set as a
* result of user prefs.
* subject: an nsIURI interface pointer representing the URI that attempted
* to set the cookie.
* data : none.
