Why use ngCookie instead of the standard ngCookies?

[bahoo]

Any reason? Just curious.

Might also be nice to not make ngCookie a dependency since I'm using localStorage instead of cookies, but that might not play cleanly with Bower, etc.

Thanks!

@bahoo - see #63, and also angular/angular.js#1786.

The short version is that it's impossible to control the path value of the cookie, and it results in duplicate auth tokens. The only options were to re-implement cookie storage from scratch, or to use the ipCookie module. The ipCookie module seemed like the better choice, and it's been working well so far.

About the cookie module dependency, I'm not sure how to set optional dependencies with bower. I need the module for the test build, so I had to include it in the deps.
