# Notes
The WSETCOOKIE command basically builds a Set-Cookie header. This function properly formats the Set-Cookie for you and understands Pick date and time formats.
If you wish more control you can use the WSETHEADER and build your own Set-Cookie line.
Here is a link for information on how Set-Cookie works.
