I am trying to read a cookie I set but I am not sure if I really set
it correctly or I am not reading it correctly. I was given the
following instructions to set the cookie. It appears to be working
because in Firefox browser I see the cookie listed for my domain
> you set a cookie in a pythonscript like:
> context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.setCookie('cookie_name', 'some value',
> expires=(DateTime() + 365).toZone('GMT').rfc822(), path='/')
>
I have been searching everywhere to find information on reading the
cookie value that I set. I used the following code I found which
returns 'no cookiez' in spite of the fact that I see the cookie in my
browser's cookie listing. I must be doing something wrong in the way
I am testing for its existence
import Cookie
import os
thiscookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
if 'HTTP_COOKIE' in os.environ:
#if os.environ.has_key('HTTP_COOKIE'): I tried this way also
thiscookie.load(os.environ['HTTP_COOKIE'])
a_code = thiscookie['my_cookie'].value
return a_code
else:
return 'no cookiez'
