Re: [Cppcms-users] The role of cookie path

[Artyom B. <art...@gm...>]

Session values are not stored in various cookies but rather in the
single session cookie defined by prefix.

Note: you can expose values from server side to client using
session().expose feature and the value will be transferred
to the client but the session would never use it as it isn't secure
only the data stored withing CppCMS session/and its cookie
will be used regardless the other cookies defined.

session().is_set(...) looks into the session not the various cookies.
