Cookie always return NULL

[mlevit]

Hi,

I've written my own JavaScript and used a couple of codes to set and get cookies from the net I found.

When I set the cookie I can see it in my browser, it is set with the right value and expiration date etc. The only problem I'm getting is when I retrieve the cookie the value is always NULL.

// ==UserScript==
// @name          Utopia Login/Loged
// @namespace     http://games.swirve.com/utopia/login.htm
// @description   Logs your Utopia login
// @include       http://games.swirve.com/utopia/login.htm
// @include       http://u1.swirve.com/enter.cgi
// @include       http://u1.swirve.com/logout.cgi?
// ==/UserScript==
 
var cookie;
var loggedIn = false;
var lastLoginDate;
var lastLoginTime;
 
var currentLocation = location.href;
 
if (currentLocation == "http://games.swirve.com/utopia/login.htm" && loggedIn == false)
{
  cookie = readCookie("utopiaLoginTimer");
  window.alert("Login page : cookie_value: " + cookie);
 
  if (cookie)
  {
    window.alert("Last login date and time: " + cookie);
  }
}
else if (currentLocation == "http://u1.swirve.com/enter.cgi")
{
  window.alert("Logged in");
  loggedIn = true;
}
else if (currentLocation == "http://u1.swirve.com/logout.cgi?")
{
  window.alert("Logged out");
  loggedIn = false;
 
  var date = new Date();
  date.setTime(date.getTime()+(1*24*60*60*1000));
 
  var expires = date.toGMTString();
  createCookie("utopiaLoginTimer", "test_something", 5);
}
 
function createCookie(name,value,days)
{
  if (days)
  {
    var date = new Date();
    date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
    var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
  }
 
  else var expires = "";
  document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
 
  window.alert("Cookie created : value : " + value);
}
 
function readCookie(name)
{
  var nameEQ = name + "=";
  var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
  for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++)
  {
    var c = ca[i];
    while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
    if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
  }
  return null;
}
 
function eraseCookie(name)
{
  createCookie(name,"",-1);
}

This is a small script that I'm using with GreaseMonkey for Firefox.

All the If statements work fine and every gets set and displayed but the cookie value is always returned as NULL?

Thanks

P.S. How do I get my current system time, I am GMT+10, the date that comes up in the windows.alert is tomorrows date and 1PM whereas I am at 12AM now.

Just found out, the code works on:

http://games.swirve.co m/utopia/login.htm

but not on:

http://u1.swirve.com/logout.cgi?

Anyone know the reason why this might be?

I think this "http://u1.swirve.com/logout.cgi?" will be "http://u1.swirve.com/logout.cgi"
Simply do remove the "?" then see what happens.
