I am having problems trying to set a cookie when the cookie is a pickled object.

Hmm... are you sure base64 is good enough? I was using base64's encoding, but then I was still running into problems. I don't remember the exact situation, but base64 was not good enough.
At the end, I had to switch to urllib, by using urllib.quote_plus() and urllib.unquote_plus(). The resulting string was bulkier, I didn't like it too much... but at least it did not fail like base64.

Umm...Yes, base64 didn't work for me, but neither did urllib.quote_plus() !! My pickled cookies have carrage returns in them, and unquoting the cookie just returns an error. The only method I have found so far is to string.replace all '\012' with "\\012". terry -- Terry Kerr (terry@adroitnet.com.au) Adroit Internet Solutions PTY LTD (www.adroitnet.com.au) (03) 9888 8522 0414 938 124
