bug: Capacitor 4.3 Http/Cookies: document.cookie is not accessible (deletion)

First of all, thank you for putting so much effort into Capacitor. With CapacitorCookies and CapacitorHttp it is now easily possible to run an app connected to an API locally.

Description

Capacitor Http/Cookies should provide the possibilty to handle document.cookie. This is necessary for many libraries, for example to delete cookies. A logout is also not possible from the app, when using cookies for authentication.

document.cookie = "auth=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC; path=/;";

@malte94 Yes, this should handle 3rd party libraries modifying cookies since every document.cookie call will get proxied through the native layer if it is enabled in the config. As far as Cookie based authentication (3rd Party Cookies), Capacitor should also intercept any Set-Cookie response headers and handle them accordingly on the native platforms 😄 If you encounter an issue though, please create a reproduction and I can investigate it.

Hello, Capacitor 4.3 should handle document.cookie for you, as long as you enable it in the configuration. See: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/cookies#example-configuration
