Hi, I was trying to find a description of cookie handling in the XProc spec [1] and not really finding anything except the text on suppress-cookies I turned to AI [2]. I believe this state about *Automatic Management* to be correct, and it will point to test files if pressed [3]. Is this a problem with the spec or am I looking in the wrong p[ace? /Andy [1] https://spec.xproc.org/3.1/steps/#c.http-request [2] AI Overview Google (xproc 3 "cookie" handling) In XProc 3.0, cookie handling is managed primarily through the standard p:http-request step, which supports automatic cookie persistence and configuration via its parameters map (such as toggling suppress-cookies) and standard HTTP headers (Cookie and Set-Cookie). <https://www.xmlcalabash.com/test-suites/3.0-test-suite/tests/ab-http-request-093.html> Core Mechanisms for Cookie Handling - *Automatic Management:* The p:http-request step automatically parses incoming Set-Cookie headers from responses and sends matching cookies back in subsequent requests within the same context or session configuration. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie> - *Suppressing Cookies:* You can control or disable automatic cookie tracking by passing the 'suppress-cookies' key set to true() or false() inside the parameters map of p:http-request.
