[Zope] Cookies and dictionaries

[Kashif Jabbar]

I changed the script as follows:

###
request = container.REQUEST
response =  request.RESPONSE

dic = {'filter':'yes'}
response.setCookie('myCookie', dic)
if request.has_key('myCookie'):
    mydic = request['myCookie']   <-------- note the change
    print mydic['filter']

return printed
###

and I still get the same error.
