[Tclhttpd-users] Cookie_Get env(HTTP_COOKIE)

[Paul N. <web...@ih...>]

I am starting out usingh tclhttpd and am getting some inexplicable
behaviour.

The tclhttpd3.5.1 is running on Windows XP with tcl/Tk 8.4
I am accessing the server from a Windows Me box

proc Cookie_Get {cookie} {
    global env
    set result ""
    if {[info exist env(HTTP_COOKIE)]} {
 set rawcookie $env(HTTP_COOKIE)
    } else {......

and I get the error message

can't read "env(HTTP_COOKIE)": no such variable while executing "set
rawcookie $env(HTTP_COOKIE)" (procedure "Cookie_Get" line 5) invoked from
within "Cookie_Get $login(-cookiename)"

Schelte.on c.l.tcl says it has been an outstanding tcl bug (#845241) for at
least 2 years and suggests a catch for the set.
