Contributions summary:LordFokas implemented rudimentary cookie support within the Java-based HTTP server, `nanohttpd`. This included creating a `CookieHandler` class to manage cookie reading, setting, and deletion, as well as integrating it into the server's request handling. The user further allowed WebSocket servers to easily override default HTTP behavior, and updated the WebSocket class to handle itself in an overridable manner, detaching the WebSocket from the server. These changes extended the server's functionality and improved its flexibility.
