COOKIE Sample Files
COOKIE (.cookie) files store request cookies, Set-Cookie responses, or cookie-jar style records for web session handling. Use sample COOKIE files to test session propagation, attribute parsing, and browser/server cookie debugging workflows.

Checksum Verification
Use checksums to confirm file integrity after download.
shasum -a 256 your_file_name_here
# Compare output with SHA256 values listed above.
Where is the machine-readable manifest?
Use the manifest when you need stable names, SHA256 values, and URLs for automation.
Use in code — curl, Python, Node, wget
Copy any snippet directly into scripts, test suites, or CI pipelines. All URLs are stable and publicly accessible with no auth required.

Validation Methodology
- Validate extension and MIME detection before processing.
- Benchmark performance with small and larger files.
- Test malformed-input handling and error messaging.
