Hi there,
My web application uses a cookie to set/get a session id. This is
working fine. However, I'm unable to work out how to get the cookie
"expires" value.
Below is test code that replicates the problem. It creates a simple
web page and shows a cookie value if it's found, or creates a new one
(correctly setting the "expires" value) and indicates that it was
created:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
#!/usr/bin/env python
import Cookie,os
def printHeader():
print "Content-type: text/html\n"
print "<html><title>Cookie test</title>"
print "<body>"
cookies=Cookie.SimpleCookie(os.environ.get('HTTP_COOKIE'))
if cookies.has_key('test'):
#If cookie was found:
printHeader()
print "Found cookie:<br/><br/>"
#Get cookie:
c = cookies.get('test')
#Print its value:
print "<div>Value: %s</div>" % c.value
#Iterate through its items and print name/value:
for k,v in c.items():
print "<div>%s=%s</div>" % (k,v)
else:
#Define cookie:
cookies['test'] = "1234"
cookies['test']['expires'] = 3600
#Save cookie:
print cookies['test']
#Now print HTML:
printHeader()
print "Cookie created."
print "</body></html>"
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
This is what I get if the cookie exists:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Found cookie:
Value: 1234
comment=
domain=
secure=
expires=
max-age=
version=
path=
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
As you can see, the cookie attributes are valueless. Can anyone help?
Am I missing something fundamental?
Cheers,
Brendon
