This PR adds a
reset_cookies
meta to clean the active cookiejar.When I try working with sessions I often find myself in a situation when I'd like to restart the session "from scratch," including cookies. It's doable by just setting
cookiejar
meta to an arbitrary value, but then we'd be accumulating the cookiejars over time.I'm not entirely sure about the meta name, as I'd probably like it namespaced, e.g.
cookies_reset
, but there's a precedent already withdont_merge_cookies
, so I chose to follow that pattern.@kmike am I missing something here?
