 Sputnik does **not** handle routing because even complex routing can be quite
 easily implemented with nested `match` blocks. If you want a more high-level
 router, you can check out the [router crates](https://crates.io/keywords/router).

-## Signed & expiring cookies
-
-After a successful authentication you can build a session id cookie for
-example as follows:
-
-```rust
-let expiry_date = SystemTime::now() + Duration::from_secs(24 * 60 * 60);
-let mut cookie = Cookie::new("userid",
-    key.sign(
-        &encode_expiring_claim(&userid, expiry_date)
-    ));
-headers.set_cookie(Cookie{
-    name: "userid".into(),
-    value: key.sign(
-        &encode_expiring_claim(&userid, expiry_date)
-    ),
-    secure: Some(true),
-    expires: Some(expiry_date),
-    same_site: SameSite::Lax,
-});
-```
-
-This session id cookie can then be retrieved and verified as follows:
-
-```rust
-let userid = req.cookies().find(|(name, _value)| *name == "userid")
-    .ok_or_else(|| "expected userid cookie".to_owned())
-    .and_then(|(_name, value)| key.verify(value))
-    .and_then(|value| decode_expiring_claim(value).map_err(|e| format!("failed to decode userid cookie: {}", e)));
-```
-
-Tip: If you want to store multiple claims in the cookie, you can
-(de)serialize a struct with [serde_json](https://docs.serde.rs/serde_json/).
-This approach can pose a lightweight alternative to JWT, if you don't care
-about the standardization aspect.
