Change formatting of cookies to be importable

[jamiekarvans]

Hi, the cookies can not be imported to browsers like Firefox... Using different extensions to import yet there is no luck, can you please change the formatting inside the file so that it could be imported? And if you have another way to import them would you mind please share

here is the correct importable format of cookies:

        if host_key and name and value != "":
            f.write(f"{host_key}\t{'FALSE' if expires_utc == 0 else 'TRUE'}\t{path}\t{'FALSE' if host_key.startswith('.') else 'TRUE'}\t{expires_utc}\t{name}\t{value}\n")

and usually in netscape format here is an example:

.ifmt.co.uk TRUE / FALSE 13354770892000000 __stripe_mid f9dca276-f11d-4db4-94da-69842a9e961679515d

Hello, i wrote this short python program which does the conversion from json to netscape format, i had to use the dateparser library (the stdlib one doesn't support timezones very well) so don't forget to add it with pip install dateparser.

To import it use the cookie quick manager extension on firefox, there should be one that supports the format for chrome: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/cookie-quick-manager/

I personnally think you should add a way to export cookies to netscape format so that you could import them on browsers, or just link this program to the README file.
