Hi,
May I suggest using a simple tracing tool like tcptrace to see what the
client/server exchange is _supposed_ to look like:

http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcptrace/

As far as I recall, if you change "set-cookie" to "Cookie" in the
suggestion below, you will be fine. In any case, you could run tcptrace
in between ie and some web site that uses cookies and you would see
exactly what's happening.

My 0.02.

Subject: Re: Hi

Thanx for ur response;

seems i am not clearly explaining u what i want;

I am not interested in sending cookies to the browser/client; infact

I am playing the role of a browser here and i want to talk to the server

and in this situation i have to send (stored) cookies (at browser say)

to the program@server

This format or way of doing this is different from the way we play a
server role and send cookies to the client ; its can be
easily done using cgi.out
Unfortunately the same way does not work out with
httpObj.post

And coming to http_access2 its all complex i am unable to understand

Please help me..........

Google is your friend :slight_smile: Googling 'cookie header' gives us:
http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html

the format for the header is:

Set-Cookie: NAME=VALUE; expires=DATE;
path=PATH; domain=DOMAIN_NAME; secure

So the header hash might look something like this:

cookie = "NAME=foo;expires=Wdy, DD-Mon-YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT;"+
  "domain=example.com;path=/foo/bar;"
{"Set-Cookie" => cookie}

cheers,
Mark
