Question about setCookie()
Hello, I just started using setCookie() for the first time, and noticed it likes to put all my values in double quotes! I went to quickly read RFC2109, and I don't see anything suggesting values should be quoted at all. This is a problem for me as it breaks the design specs of a distributed application framework I'm working with that sets cookies without the double quotes. Any way around this? Can I safely alter the HTTPResponse.py code to remove them?

Annoying, isn't it?

Yup

Just set the cookies with Response.setHeader, or write an python script called setCookie which does the right thing, and put it in your zope root. cheers, oliver

section 4.1 note the definition of word, but thats not really all that big a deal as almost no browser follows the RFCs anyway, the Netscape Cookie "standard" still rules on high afaict.

probably, but don't forget the regex that strips them off when present, that'll need to be altered too -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution." -Sathington Willoughby
