Overrides the cookies() method in ActionController::TestResponseBehaviour, returning a proxy that accesses the requests cookies when setting a cookie and the responses cookies when reading one. This allows you to set and read cookies in examples using the same API with which you set and read them in controllers.

Examples (Rails >= 1.2.6)

  cookies[:user_id] = '1234'
  get :index
  assigns[:user].id.should == '1234'

  post :login
  cookies[:login].expires.should == 1.week.from_now

Examples (Rails >= 2.0.0 only)

  cookies[:user_id] = {:value => '1234', :expires => 1.minute.ago}
  get :index
  response.should be_redirect
