how to read multiple cookies in header

Thread view:

I am visiting a web page (via URLConnection) which is supposed to spit
out four cookies. Using the standard:

String cookie = conn.getHeaderField("Set-Cookie");

only gives me the last cookie in the header. I know I can manually
parse the header to extract multiple cookies, but does java (1.4.2)
provide for an easier way?

use getHeaderFields to get a map that gives you a list of fields for
each header.

The API documentation is your friend. =P
