How to parse a cookie string

Question

I would like to take a Cookie string (as it might be returned in a Set-Cookie header) and be able to easily modify parts of it, specifically the expiration date.

I see there are several different Cookie classes, such as BasicClientCookie, available but I don't see any easy way to parse the string into one of those objects.

I see in api level 9 they added HttpCookie which has a parse method, but I need something to work in previous versions.

Any ideas?

Thanks

How about java.net.HttpCookie:

List<HttpCookie> cookies = HttpCookie.parse(header);
