How to setup cookies in Python CGI Programming?
Setting up Cookies
It is very easy to send cookies to browser. These cookies are sent along with HTTP Header before to Content-type field. Assuming you want to set UserID and Password as cookies. Setting the cookies is done as follows −
#!/usr/bin/python print "Set-Cookie:UserID = XYZ;\r\n" print "Set-Cookie:Password = XYZ123;\r\n" print "Set-Cookie:Expires = Tuesday, 31-Dec-2007 23:12:40 GMT;\r\n" print "Set-Cookie:Domain = www.tutorialspoint.com;\r\n" print "Set-Cookie:Path = /perl;\n" print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n" ...........Rest of the HTML Content....
From this example, you must have understood how to set cookies. We use Set-Cookie HTTP header to set cookies.
It is optional to set cookies attributes like Expires, Domain, and Path. It is notable that cookies are set before sending magic line "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n.
