  47  * Provides methods for setting and getting cookies in the context of a
  48  * page load.  See nsICookieManager for methods to manipulate the cookie
  49  * database directly.  This separation of interface is mainly historical.
  50  *
  51  * This service broadcasts the following notifications when the cookie
  52  * list is changed, or a cookie is rejected:
  53  *
  54  * topic  : "cookie-changed"
  55  *          broadcast whenever the cookie list changes in some way. there
  56  *          are four possible data strings for this notification; one
  57  *          notification will be broadcast for each change, and will involve
  58  *          a single cookie.
  59  * subject: an nsICookie2 interface pointer representing the cookie object
  60  *          that changed.
  61  * data   : "deleted"
  62  *          a cookie was deleted. the subject is the deleted cookie.
  63  *          "added"
  64  *          a cookie was added. the subject is the added cookie.
  65  *          "changed"
  66  *          a cookie was changed. the subject is the new cookie.
  67  *          "cleared"
  68  *          the entire cookie list was cleared. the subject is null.
  69  *          "reload"
  70  *          the entire cookie list should be reloaded.  the subject is null.
  71  *
  72  * topic  : "cookie-rejected"
  73  *          broadcast whenever a cookie was rejected from being set as a
  74  *          result of user prefs.
  75  * subject: an nsIURI interface pointer representing the URI that attempted
  76  *          to set the cookie.
