Where do I find out about cookies?
Hi Zopers It looks like I'm going to be using cookies now, and I don't find any How-To on cookies. What's the most instructive place to look? "UTSL" is fine as an answer, especially if it points me somewhere, and even more if it's DTML source .. The *ZQR* is a bit too cryptic for me. The *DTML Ref* has a bit more:: 8. Dictionaries are objects that support looking of data by name (e.g. REQUEST.cookies['CUST_ID'] to look up a cookie named CUST_ID). Dictionaries have has_key methods for checking whether a dictionary contains a value (e.g. REQUEST.cookies.has_key('CUST_ID') ) and methods keys , values , and items , for updating lists of dictionary keys, values, and key-value pairs (e.g. REQUEST.cookies.keys() to obtain a list of cookie names). .. but I don't understand yet how 'keys', 'values' and 'items' are going to help me *update* the lists -- it seems to refer only to querying them, AFAICS .. -- Jean Jordaan -- technical writer -- Mosaic Software -- Zope 2.1.6 on WinNT and W2K

First you must understand cookies independent of Zope: http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html Then Zope's interface to them will be easier to understand:

Search for "cookie" a little further in http://www.zope.org/Members/ZQR/zqr/normal and you will find not only REQUEST.cookies but also RESPONSE.setCookie(). -- Loren
No How-Tos on Cookies? how about http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/cookies/ (I had forgotten to request it to be cataloged now down). Enjoy, J

I am collecting everything on cookies in the developers portal of the ZDP: http://zdp.zope.org/portals/developers/sessionmanagement/cookies Hope this helps. Once you have done more research, maybe you can give some feedback, so I can add it to the ZDP ?
