Something like this perhaps?

http://dev.alt.textdrive.com/browser/HTTP/HTTPExtra.lua#L247

local Data = require( 'Data' )
local HTTPExtra = require( 'HTTPExtra' )
local HTTPCookie = require( 'HTTPCookie' )
local aCookie = HTTPCookie( '$Version="1"; Customer="WILE_E_COYOTE";  
$Path="/acme"; Part_Number="Rocket_Launcher_0001";  
$Path="/acme";Shipping="FedEx"; $Path="/acme"' )

print( Data( aCookie ) )

_["customer"]={}
_["customer"]["value"]="WILE_E_COYOTE"
_["customer"]["option"]={}
_["customer"]["option"]["path"]="/acme"
_["part_number"]={}
_["part_number"]["value"]="Rocket_Launcher_0001"
_["part_number"]["option"]={}
_["part_number"]["option"]["path"]="/acme"
_["shipping"]={}
_["shipping"]["value"]="FedEx"
_["shipping"]["option"]={}
_["shipping"]["option"]["path"]="/acme"

The HTTPCookie code is based on Xavante's Cookies module:

http://luaforge.net/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/~checkout~/xavante/src/ 
codeweb/cookies.lua?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain;cvsroot=xavante

Which itself is inspired by CGILua cookies:

cgilua/cookies.lua?rev=1.7;content-type=text%2Fplain;cvsroot=cgilua
