> c["mycook"]["expires"] = 0
Set ["expires"] using the following format to any time less than
current (which causes the browser to delete the cookie).
Here's a function I use to return a cookie expiry timestamp, negative
values passed in result in cookie being deleted.
def cookie_expiry_date(numdays):
""" Returns a cookie expiry date in the required format. -ve
value in = kill cookie.
`expires` should be a string in the format "Wdy, DD-Mon-YY
HH:MM:SS GMT"
NOTE! Must use [expires] because earlier IE versions don't
support [max-age].
"""
from datetime import date, timedelta
new = date.today() + timedelta(days = numdays)
return new.strftime("%a, %d-%b-%Y 23:59:59 GMT")
Usage:
c["mycook"]["expires"] = cookie_expiry_date(-10) # any negative value
will remove cookie
