OK, thanks a lot ... my problem was I didn't understand when/where
should I put it in my CGI script to be part of header. Now I seem to
have it running. Few questions though -
- have you used multiple cookies? What is the format please? I don't
understand it from the doc - should I issue two separate "Set-Cookie:
..." sequences, or just use several name=value pair with one
Set-Cookie: ...
sequence?
- maybe I have incorrectly understood checksum/secure. I wanted to use
it to generate securely unique IDs, but once I give it the same value,
it returns the same result ... that way I cannot regard following being
secure enough to generate id:
checksum/secure mold now/time/precise
... but then it can be my incorrect understanding of checksum/secure
functionality. ...
