eyJuYW1lIjoiSkJOUloifQ.ZZVJMg.ZPGcSUBQVYq5zVgSsVq-_4eFaaM

Note: the session cookie structure must be a valid python dictionary

Decode

With secret key:

$ python flask_session_cookie_manager.py decode -s "JBNRZ" -c "eyJuYW1lIjoiSkJOUloifQ.ZZVJMg.ZPGcSUBQVYq5zVgSsVq-_4eFaaM"
{'name': 'JBNRZ'}

Without secret key (less pretty output):

$ python flask_session_cookie_manager.py decode -c "eyJuYW1lIjoiSkJOUloifQ.ZZVJMg.ZPGcSUBQVYq5zVgSsVq-_4eFaaM"
b'{"name":"JBNRZ"}'
