Using cookies
[1/4] from: maillist:peter:home:se at: 17-Aug-2004 7:55
Hello!
I am trying to access a homepage which seems is only accessible
after visiting the main page. Is there a simple solution to this?
I think this have to do with the page using cookies?
So I figure I also need help on how to use cookies with REBOL.
How do I handle setting and getting cookies?
Best regards,
Peter Carlsson

My best-just a user-is to get Graham's readmail-list program and then you
can do a search for cookies.I just did and got about 40 entries

A search for "cookies" in the Script Library will turn up several worked
examples:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/search.r?find=cookies
Assuming you want simplest type of session cookie
print join "set-cookie: " form now/precise
print "Content-type: text/html^/"
print ....your HTML page...
will create a cookie with a (very probably) unique data value.
And then later:
select system/options/cgi/other-headers "HTTP_COOKIE"
will access the cookie, if a browser has sent you one.
(It gets a little more complicated if you want to set expiry dates, or you
want more than 1 cookie per user).
