               httpNew

Subclass of html tag class, which includes HTTP reply headers plus cookies in its dump(), as well as parsing cookies upon construction

http objects have a special attribute 'session', of class 'httpenv'. Recall that httpenv objects themselves have the following magical attributes:

cookies - a dict-like object containing cookies. Example:
page.session.cookies['colour'] = 'red' page.session.cookies['colour']['path'] = "/fred" page.session.cookies['colour']['expires'] = 1200 (magic - set seconds ahead)
fields - another dict-like object containing the fields passed in the URL and/or in the form data. This is of type cgi.FieldStorage
data - another dict of strings, which gets serialised into a cookie called '__data' upon sending to the client. When the client makes another hit, this dict gets restored from the '__data' cookie, so this attribute can be used for storing any persistent data which can be represented as a string

Note that the magic keyword 'empty' causes this to be subclassed from a notag instead of a webwidget
