So I commented out those lines and now have this: #!/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>' # for key, morsel in cookie.iteritems(): # print "key: %s\n" % key # print "morsel: %s\n\n" % morsel print '</body></html>' and it does the same thing: namely, when I clear out the cookie, it creates a cookie but apparently not with the data I'm trying to push and when I refresh it displays all the keys without any morsel values. What do? TIA, Jack
