At a glance

How much Poka reads

B2 Broad. The common content of the current and the common older versions is decoded. Some named features or versions are not, and are listed.

Confidence: medium (the reviewer read the code). Basis: Reviewed 2026-10-26: read parsers/poka-cookies/src/main.rs (175 lines) and plugin.json. No unit tests or tests/samples.rs; the corpus has no .cookies and .cookies.txt sample. Covers .cookies and .cookies.txt. The table lists every cookie with domain, path, secure flag, lifetime (session or expiry), name and a redacted value, with expired, session and secure counts. Judgement: B2: every entry is shown; the gaps are limits, redaction by design and fields left raw.

What Poka does not read

• Values are redacted (by design)
• The include-subdomains flag is not shown
• Lines starting with #HttpOnly_ (HttpOnly cookies in curl's format) are skipped as comments (judgement from the code)
• Only the first 2,000 cookies are listed
