How to Test Cookie Feature (/login)

To test the cookie feature, follow these steps:

1. Start the server:

   npm start

2. Open a web browser or use an API testing tool like Postman.

3. Send a GET request to the following URL:

   http://localhost:5050/login?name=YourName
   

   Replace YourName with the name you want to set in the cookie.

4. After sending the request, you should receive a response indicating that the cookie has been set for the provided name.

5. To verify that the cookie is set, you can send another GET request to:

   http://localhost:5050/home
   

   This route will display a personalized welcome message if the name cookie is set.

6. If the cookie is set correctly, you should see a welcome message with the name you provided earlier.
