Cookie Problem
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 ''
print 'Server time is', time.asctime(time.localtime()), ''
# 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 'First visit or cookies disabled'
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 'The returned cookie string was "' + cookie_string + '"'
# 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 '', morsel, '=', cookie[morsel].value
print ''
for key in cookie[morsel]:
print key, '=', cookie[morsel][key], ''
print ''
print ''
TIA,
Jack

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 ''
print 'Server time is', time.asctime(time.localtime()), ''
# 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 'First visit or cookies disabled'
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 'The returned cookie string was "' + cookie_string + '"'
# 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 '', morsel, '=', cookie[morsel].value
print ''
for key in cookie[morsel]:
print key, '=', cookie[morsel][key], ''
print ''
# for key, morsel in cookie.iteritems():
# print "key: %s\n" % key
# print "morsel: %s\n\n" % morsel
print ''
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

Problem reading HTTP_COOKIE
Hi;
I'm trying to get cookies to work and I've traced my problem down to this
reduced script:
#! /usr/bin/python
import string
import os
import datetime, Cookie, random
import time
import os
def parse_cookie():
print 'Content-Type: text/html\n'
print os.environ.get('HTTP_COOKIE')
print ''
print ''
if __name__ == "__main__":
parse_cookie()
It prints "None". However, when I look in my browser's cookie jar, there
is a cookie "www.my_site.com" where my_site is the site from which I am
surfing the above script. What gives?
TIA,
Jack

But my script *is* setting a cookie. I just sent a stripped-down version of the
script earlier. Here's the entire script:
#! /usr/bin/python
import string
import os
import datetime, Cookie, random
import time
import os
def parse_cookie():
ourTime = str(time.time())
environ = os.environ
cookie = environ.get('HTTP_COOKIE', '')
if cookie == '':
cookie = string.replace(ourTime, '.', '')
cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
expiration = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=30)
cookie['lastvisit'] = random.randint(1,)
cookie['lastvisit']['expires'] = 30 * 24 * 60 * 60
cookie['lastvisit']['path'] = '/var/www/html/my_site/clients/Millenium/'
cookie['lastvisit']['comment'] = random.randint(1,)
cookie['lastvisit']['domain'] = '.www.my_site.com'
cookie['lastvisit']['max-age'] = 30 * 24 * 60 * 60
cookie['lastvisit']['secure'] = ''
cookie['lastvisit']['version'] = 1
c = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
c.load(cookie)
cookiedict = {}
for key in c.keys():
cookiedict[key] = c.get(key).value
print c
print 'Content-Type: text/html\n'
print ''
print ''
if __name__ == "__main__":
parse_cookie()
You see, every time when the cookie is read it comes back None which gets
translated to '' and then the cookie is re-baked. *NOT* what I want!! I can see
the cookie in my browser.
TIA,
Jack

Chris, I finally got a script that works. Thanks for trying!
