Once again, I'm forced to ask a simple question that everyone probably knows the answer to but that I can't seem to figure out from any of my multiple books or online resources. I need to leave a semi-permanent cookie to store my options. I'm doing it from within and External Method. I've tried a number of things but nothing seems to work. I'm not sure what the format is supposed to be. The Zope Book documents the function like as "setCookie(name, value, **kw)" but doesn't tell me anything about what "**kw" is.
Look at the cookie specification "http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html". It defines the meaningful keyword arguments.
... But it doesn't work. The cookie is there with the options set correctly but my cookie manager says that it expires at the end of the session and after the session ends, the cookie goes away. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Note that the time specified in an "expires" must be in a precisely specified format and in the GMT time zone. -- Dieter
