This program recieves HTTP\1.1 response messages via standard input and parses Set-Cookie headers only. It will stop reading when the end of file (EOF) is reached. Within a terminal, EOF can be forced by pressing ctrl+d two times.

Details: This parser only cares about the Set-Cookie headers within HTTP\1.1 responce messages. Furthermore, it is only concerned with the name and value of the Set-Cookie header. It will ignore other directives such as Max-Age, Expires, etc. If multiple Set-Coookie headers are recieved with the same name, the value of the most recent Set-Cookier header will replace the value of the oldest.

Sample input is provided below:
