Gun 2.0 comes with a +cookie store engine that can automatically process cookies +and store them to and retrieve them from a pluggable backend. + +Gun 2.0 comes with the `gun_cookies_list` backend which can +be enabled via the new `cookie_store` option. This backend +will keep cookies in-memory on a per-connection basis and +without any persistence built-in. It should however be easy +to create a backend on top of this one to add persistence +or share the cookie store backend between multiple connections +should that be necessary. + +The cookie store engine implements the RFC6265bis draft that +will become a proper RFC in the nearby future and includes +all the most recent improvements to cookies that modern +browsers have implemented. Gun is not a browser however so +some features were skipped (at least for now): there is no +support for setting cookies from the Erlang side; and there +is no SameSite checks because Gun does not have a concept of +a "browsing context". + +Please consult the link:/articles/gun-2.0.0-pre.1/[announcement for the first pre-release] +for information about other Gun 2.0 features. + +Gun 2.0 currently requires Erlang/OTP 22 or above and is tested +and supported on Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows. + +A complete +list of changes can be found in the migration guide: +https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/gun/2.0/guide/migrating_from_1.3/[Migrating from Gun 1.3 to 2.0]. + +I will have more free time available for consulting or for +paid open source development starting from next week. If you +are interested, drop me an email at mailto:[email protected][[email protected]]. +A feature that may be useful for some of you could be for +example an implementation for the "Happy Eyeballs" mechanism +(RFC 8305) as this would allow faster connections to servers +on dual IPv4 and IPv6 environments. + +You can donate to this project via +https://github.com/sponsors/essen[GitHub Sponsors]. +These funds are used to pay for additional servers for +testing. + +As usual, feedback is appreciated, and issues or +questions should be sent via Github tickets.
