The only reason you would want to directly modify the cookie
after creating it should be to unset the HTTPONLY or SECURE flags
if that is what you *really* want to do.
Change http_response_cookie() to take all required parameters instead
of having to marshall those in yourself after.
Now you set a sane default cookie in one shot:
http_response_cookie(req, "key", "value", "/", 0, -1, NULL);
Which would create a session cookie key=value for / under the current domain.
We now default to httponly & secure for newly created cookies.
This should've been the default all along.
The http_response_cookie() no longer returns a pointer to http_cookie
but rather takes it as a parameter and will populate the pointer with
the newly created http_cookie if not NULL.
Additionally http_response_cookie() automatically sets the domain
based on the http_request passed into the function.
