ExpressJS: set/delete cookies

app.js

// Dependencies.
var express = require('express')
      app = module.exports = express.createServer(),
      del = function(req, res) { res.clearCookie('login_token'); res.redirect('/'); },
      set = function(req, res) { res.cookie('login_token', +new Date(), { maxAge: 3600000, path: '/' }); res.redirect('/'); };

// Config
app.configure(function() {
  app.use(express.bodyParser());
  app.use(express.cookieParser());
  app.use(app.router);
});

// Routes
app.get('/', function home(req, res) {
  res.end('<a href="/set">set</a> <a href="/del/a">del</a> <a href="/del">rlydel</a>');
  console.log(req.cookies);
});
app.get('/set', set);
app.get('/del/a', del);
app.get('/del', del);

// Server
app.listen(3000);

it works if you add { path: '/' } to the clearCookie(). The browser should default the path to whatever the current path is but maybe internally we should default to "/" which I would at least consider to be the usual case (aka always available)

at least that way the "global" cookie typical use-case would be cleaner:

res.cookie('foo', 'bar', { maxAge: n });
res.clearCookie('foo');

those 2 lines could then be called wherever one would like and both default to '/', right?

yeah

sounds good :)

posted this on the ML for more feedback

How to clear all cookies programmatically? Not only those you explicitly set yourself in your app with `res.cookie(...), but also those ones that third-party services set themselves, like FB during login with FB. Is it possible at all? This is for the sake of testing, to clear all cookies, that is reset the state in order to start a test again.
