But of course, Safari doesn’t use the cookies.txt file format. Fortunately, Ruby and the plist gem come to the rescue.


$ sudo gem install plist
$ irb
>> require 'plist'
>> result = Plist::parse_xml("Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist")
>> File.open("cookies.txt", "w") {|f| result.each {|r| f.write("#{r["Domain"]}\tTRUE\t#{r["Path"]}\tFALSE\t#{r["Expires"].strftime("%s")}\t#{r["Name"]}\t#{r["Value"]}\n")}}
