Hello,
I am trying to use cookies and Python to create a simple login example.
But I am very disoriented at the existence of two cookie libraries,
namely Cookie and cookielib. I have seen examples of setting cookies
(although I am still not sure about timestamps and cookie lifespan),
but no reference to getting the currently set cookies. For instance, I
want to see if there is any 'user' value, to check whether the user has
logged in. Please, enlighten me.
Thanks in advance,
Vlad 4 6454

From the cookielib docs: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-cookielib.html
| The cookielib module defines classes for automatic handling of HTTP
| cookies. It is useful for accessing web sites that require small
| pieces of data - cookies - to be set on the client machine by an HTTP
| response from a web server, and then returned to the server in later
| HTTP requests.
(note the *accessing* there)
[...]
| Module Cookie: HTTP cookie classes, principally useful for server-side
| code. The cookielib and Cookie modules do not depend on each
| other.
Module cookielib is for web client code (writing code that works like
a browser). Module Cookie is for server-side code (writing code to
make a web site work). You don't make it entirely clear which you're
doing, but it sounds like the latter.

I am trying to write a simple login script. I understand (or rather I
think I understand) how to set a cookie with the Cookie module. My
problem is getting the cookies that are currently set. How can I do
that?

You still haven't explicitly said that you're writing server-side
code. If you are:
IIRC, you .load() it from the HTTP header value, then you use it as a
mapping (though, oddly, that seems undocumented, except in the
"Example" section of the docs). A working CGI-based example (written
in a rather retro style for ease of deployment): http://codespeak.net/svn/wwwsearch/C...cookietest.cgi
If you want to iterate over all cookies using module Cookie (that
script does not), use .keys(), .values() or .items() on your
SimpleCookie instance (it's also a little odd that instances of class
SimpleCookie do not represent a single cookie, but a collection of
cookies).

That's pretty much what I was trying to find out. Thanks for the
pointer.

Hi,
Is it wrong to forcefully set a value HTTP_GET_VARS and HTTP_POST_VARS

If yes, why? and how can i pass value between one page and the other without

I am setting a cookie on a subdomain:
http://store1.mydomain.com
Then the store takes me to a shopping cart that is at:
http://shopping.mydomain.com
Somewhere the following code (taken and modified from The JavaScript Source)
is broken between domains, because when I click my "store" link that should
read the cookie and send me to store1.mydomain.com or storeN.mydomain.com I
get the default template store.

Hi All,
I am working on a project that acts as a bridge. It does some checking with
post xml data, and then redirects the request to an appropriate page.
However, we find that depends on the browser cache setting (and OS), the
program behaves differently.
This is how it should work:
1. The client program opens a webbrowser control, using navigate2 method to
post xml data to my aspx pages, eg abc.aspx

Hello,
I have discovered that if I try and add a cookie when one by that
already exists, nothing happens. No error, but the cookie is not set to
the new value.
For example (this is running in a DLL, which is why I use
HttpContext)...
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("fred", "ferret");

FYI: It appears that Phorm (a targeted advertising system which taps into
ISP networks) will be setting its own persistent cookie for most every

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
