[Cppcms-users] Cookies

[Saikumar G. <sai...@gm...>]

The cookies set in the cppcms app is not visible in the response header at 
the client side.

    response().set_cookie(cppcms::http::cookie("COOKIE1","value"));

The configuration is through fastcgi from lighttpd.

fastcgi.server = (
  "/main" => ((
    "bin-path" => "/home/dev/myapp/myapp -c /home/dev/myapp/config.js",
    "socket" => "/tmp/hello-fcgi-socket",
    "max-procs" => 1,
    "check-local" => "disable"
  ))
)

Could it be because the lighttpd is not forwarding the cookies sent from the 
cppcms app ?

Am I doing something wrong with the settings ?

It is most likely because you had already generated some output before setting the cookie.

if you called response().out() -  than the headers were generated and written to the output.

So make sure you have no output requested.

Also you have to know, that the cookies are not visible immediately, but
on the next request from the client.

Good catch. You were right, I had generated the output before 
setting the cookie. 
Moving it before the response().out() solved this issue.

Thank you.

Re: [Cppcms-users] Cookies

Yet another issue I am facing when using cookie.

I would like to store a user key in cookie when the user logs in and remove the
 cookie when the user logs out.

After successful login the cookie is set
     app.response().set_cookie(cppcms::http::cookie("_key_", key));

and during logout the cookie is set with max age 0
    cppcms::http::cookie thecookie("_key_", key);
    thecookie.max_age(0);
    app,response().set_cookie(thecookie);

However the cookie is never removed from the browser after logout happens.
Any ideas why this is happening.

Also, I see that cppcms is using Max-Age to set the cookie expiry.
How will this work for earlier IE versions ?

Don't reinvent the wheel - use sessions:

I don't think setting max_age to 0 is actually meant to remove the cookie.

I got this working. Cookie was removed on setting the max age to 0 on Chrome, 
FF and Safari. Havent tested this on IE yet.
The issue is that the path was different from the page it was initially set 
to the page it was deleting.
Setting the path to / in both places solved this.

Re: [Cppcms-users] Cookies

Max-Age did not work in IE 8.0 with which I tested.

Artyom,
    Unless I am mistaken, the session implementation in cppcms relies on Max-Age to expire and 
delete it. If so how did you accomplish it to work on IE versions of browser ?
