Hi,

Is it possible to override the way Zope escapes it's cookies? When a cookie is set by Zope (eg. when you consult the help or by setting it with REQUEST.RESPONSE.setCookie), the cookie-value is enclosed by escaped quotes (eg \"mycookievalue\").

I would like to use quote-less cookievalues because it confuses some log-analyzing programs.

Anyone encountered this problem (and preferrably it's solution)?

I'm quite sure you can't change that behaviour of setCookie(), because it's hard-coded in ZPublisher.HTTPResponse._cookie_list. But you should be able to use RESPONSE.appendHeader: def appendHeader(self, name, value, delimiter=","): '''\ Append a value to a cookie Sets an HTTP return header "name" with value "value", appending it following a comma if there was a previous value set for the header. ''' and append the right header to you response, something like RESPONSE.appendHeader('Set-Cookie:', 'cookie_name = cookie_value, <other headers>') For right syntax of the "Set_cookie"-header, there's a RFC, or look up in google.

It's a Zope quirk that could be considered a bug. Please file a collector issue at http://collector.zope.org/Zope Thanks, Florent -- Florent Guillaume, Nuxeo (Paris, France) +33 1 40 33 79 87 http://nuxeo.com mailto:fg@nuxeo.com
