[🚀 Feature]: Use dedicated WebDriver Spec endpoint to get named cookie

[nvborisenko]

Feature and motivation

Problem: To get cookie by name we fetch all cookies and then filter them out internally.

Spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver2/#get-named-cookie

Usage example

C#:

driver.Manage().Cookies.GetCookieNamed("abc");

Solution

This method should send GET /session/{sessionId}/cookie/{name} request. {name} is not null or empty, otherwise remote end returns the list of all cookies.

.Net part is done.

Python implementation is already done, refer here and here.
So, we can remove the C-py label.

This functionality has already been implemented in JS bindings

[cmd.Name.GET_COOKIE, get('/session/:sessionId/cookie/:name')],

[nvborisenko]

@navin772 @harsha509 please double check how it works with empty name as input with Firefox.

Let's say:

driver.Manage().Cookies.GetCookieNamed("   ");

Why: it sends GET request to /session/:sessionId/cookie/ and Firefox returns all cookies. Chrome returns no such cookie.

[navin772]

Thanks for the info @nvborisenko, verified with Chrome and Firefox and the above is correct. I will implement this in Python.
