## Discussion

Discussion This method ignores irrelevant header fields in headerFields, allowing dictionaries to contain additional data. If headerFields doesn’t specify a domain for a given cookie, the cookie is created with a default domain value of URL. If headerFields doesn’t specify a path for a given cookie, the cookie is created with a default path value of "/".
