Hi;
I'm trying to get this cookie code to work but it doesn't set the
properties I want set (expires, path, comment, etc.). When I delete the
cookie and run the script it duly creates a cookie. However, when I
reload the page none of the morsels have values associated with them. I
also do not see values when I look for them in my FireFox CookieCuller. I
pretty much copied this code from an online tutorial so I'm wondering
where the problem is.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import string
import os
import datetime, Cookie, random
import time
ourTime = str(time.time())
cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
cookie['lastvisit'] = str(time.time())
print cookie
print 'Content-Type: text/html\n'
print '<html><body>'
print '<p>Server time is', time.asctime(time.localtime()), '</p>'
# The returned cookie is available in the os.environ dictionary
cookie_string = os.environ.get('HTTP_COOKIE')
# The first time the page is run there will be no cookies
if not cookie_string:
print '<p>First visit or cookies disabled</p>'
cookie = string.replace(ourTime, '.', '')
cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
expiration = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=30)
cookie['lastvisit'] = str(time.time())
cookie['lastvisit']['expires'] = 30 * 24 * 60 * 60
cookie['lastvisit']['path'] = '/var/www/html/my_site/'
cookie['lastvisit']['comment'] = 'holds the last user\'s visit date'
cookie['lastvisit']['domain'] = '.www.my_site.com'
cookie['lastvisit']['max-age'] = 30 * 24 * 60 * 60
cookie['lastvisit']['secure'] = ''
cookie['lastvisit']['version'] = 1
else: # Run the page twice to retrieve the cookie
print '<p>The returned cookie string was "' + cookie_string + '"</p>'
# cookie = string.replace(string.split(str(cookie['lastvisit']), '=')[1],
'.', '')[:-1]
# load() parses the cookie string
cookie.load(cookie_string)
# Use the value attribute of the cookie to get it
lastvisit = float(cookie['lastvisit'].value)
for morsel in cookie:
print '<p>', morsel, '=', cookie[morsel].value
print '<div style="margin:-1em auto auto 3em;">'
for key in cookie[morsel]:
print key, '=', cookie[morsel][key], '<br />'
print '</div></p>'
print '</body></html>'
TIA,
Jack
