[tclwebtest] Strange cookie problem with google

[Grzegorz A. H. <gr...@ef...>]

Hi.

I was writting a tutorial for my coworkers about tclwebtest, and
I wanted to start with something simple:

   # una petición genérica
   do_request http://www.google.com/

But tclwebtest fails with a really funny cookie error:

----- START: in_memory string at [24/Jan/2003:10:41:04] -----

--- do_request for http://www.google.com/
http status: >>200<<

unable to convert date-time string "Sun, 17-Jan-2038 19:14:07 GMT; path=/; domain=.google.com"
    while executing
"clock scan $expires"
    (procedure "set_cookie" line 15)
    invoked from within
"set_cookie $cookie_string"
    (procedure "do_request" line 83)
    invoked from within
"do_request http://www.google.com/
"
    ("eval" body line 3)
    invoked from within
"eval $to_eval "
in script body line 2
-----  FAILED: in_memory string (took 1s)               -----

Yeah, that's a bug that I've heard about from before.

Someone should look into the possible Cookie values and format them
before feeding them to the 'clock scan' command. It's happening in
this proc:

ad_proc -private set_cookie {
    set_cookie_string 
} {

    Parses the value of the http "Set-cookie: " header into the global
    cookies list. Doesn't do anything with the path argument, e.g. if
    it
    is not / than this proc will behave wrongly.

    Also it currently depends on the Expires= information to be
    parsable
    by the tcl command <code>clock scan</code>. If that is not the
    case then it will throw an error.

} {

...

    set expires_seconds [clock scan $expires]

...       
}


I can't do it immediately, sorry.


regards, til

Looks like the solution was easier than expected. Patch attached,
it works with google and hotmail. However, hotmail still seems to
have a problem with cookies, I try the following script:

  do_request http://hotmail.com/
  
  link follow "E-Mail Account!"
  
  # Confirm we don't use IExplorer
  form find ~n cont
  form submit
  
  log [response text]

And the answer is something like: Your Web browser options are
currently set to disable cookies. To use .NET Passport, you must
enable cookies."

Commited.

> However, hotmail still seems to have a problem with cookies:

This persists, I suspect it's a problem with the 'referer' value
sent by tclwebtest, but I will track this down later.
