reading cookies file created by curl

I have the following cookie saved by curl (in test.txt, tab-separated, this editor doesn't preserve tabs):
# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# http://curlm.haxx.se/rfc/cookie_spec.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.
#HttpOnly_my-example.com FALSE / FALSE 0 _rails-root_session test
I'm trying to read it with the following code:
import sys
if sys.version_info < (3,):
from cookielib import Cookie, MozillaCookieJar
else:
from http.cookiejar import Cookie, MozillaCookieJar
def load_cookies_from_mozilla(filename):
ns_cookiejar = MozillaCookieJar()
ns_cookiejar.load(filename, ignore_discard=True)
return ns_cookiejar
cookies = load_cookies_from_mozilla("test.txt")
print (len(cookies))
It outputs 0 (unable to read the cookie).
If I manually modify my cookie to the following line (remove HttpOnly flag and changing 0 to the empty string for expiration time, and again, tab-separated):
my-example.com FALSE / FALSE _rails-root_session test
then it outputs 1 (successfully read the cookie).
What needs to be done to my python code to read the original cookie line? And preferably to be able to save it in the same format (with HttpOnly flag and with 0 instead of empty string for never-expiring cookie)?
Thanks.

I tested your code and modified it, it works.
First in the cookie file you have to put off the '#' before your cookie, I think it will comment the data after it.
Second the 0 in the cookie means the expire time, 0 means expire now, so you can change the 0 to empty string or latter time, but i suggest you use the argument ignore_expire=True, the official means:
ignore_discard: save even cookies set to be discarded.
ignore_expires: save even cookies that have expiredThe file is overwritten if it already exists
and the result code is :
import sys
if sys.version_info < (3,):
from cookielib import Cookie, MozillaCookieJar
else:
from http.cookiejar import Cookie, MozillaCookieJar
def load_cookies_from_mozilla(filename):
ns_cookiejar = MozillaCookieJar()
ns_cookiejar.load(filename, ignore_discard=True, ignore_expires=True)
return ns_cookiejar
cookies = load_cookies_from_mozilla("test.txt")
print (len(cookies))

Yes, igonore_expires=True allows to read cookies with 0 ttl. The question with #HttpOnly_ still remains (it's not a comment) - is there a way to say somehow to python that I do want to read cookies with HttpOnly flag set? Of course, I can (and I did) manually open the cookiefile and modify it (erase #HttpOnly_) but it would be better to use a legal way (if it exists).

If you don't want to read some cookie you can just comment it with '#' and if you said #HttpOnly_ is not a comment, then i don't know how to salve your problem, i don't know how to use a legal way to avoid read cookie that you set a flag
