Description

Biscotti looks great and I love the direction you took way this crate from the 'cookie' crate.

I wonder however why parsing Set-Cookie headers is such a non goal? Feels like you already have everything in place for response headers, only the parsing is missing.

In case it is due to time constraints, I could offer to contribute this for you. Otherwise I might need to fork it for my own purposes if you don't mind as I do really need that support.

Either way, thanks for your blog and crate, it's a nice refreshing take on cookies.

Research direction

Start by reading Biscotti's existing response-header handling and the stated non-goal around parsing Set-Cookie. Clarify the intended parsing scope and validation behavior before implementation; done means the agreed Set-Cookie response headers parse correctly without changing existing cookie-management behavior.
