It it’s confusing, the docs are not good enough, and I probably have to agree
here ;)
Anyway, http\Cookie can parse Cookie and Set-Cookie headers, though, looking at
the RFC that might have been a bad idea to implement it that way.
Cookies never have been a main area of interest to me, so there might be a lot
of room to improve in pecl/http.
Obviously, API for cookies is completely missing in the http\Env sub namespace,
probably because there was $_COOKIE and set_cookie(), which may have covered my
needs for it. Setting a cookie currently would mean just setting the
appropriate Set-Cookie header on an http\Env\Response instance.

$ php -r '$r = new http\Env\Response; \
$r->setHeader("Set-Cookie", \
((new http\Cookie("foo=bar"))->setExpires(strtotime("+1 day")))); \
$r->send(STDOUT);’
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Set-Cookie: foo=bar; expires=Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:21:43 GMT;
