This example sets a simple cookie which expires in 300 seconds:
from mod_python import Cookie, apache
import time
def handler(req):
cookie = Cookie.Cookie('eggs', 'spam')
cookie.expires = time.time() + 300
Cookie.add_cookie(req, cookie)
req.write('This response contains a cookie!\n')
return apache.OK
This example checks for incoming marshal cookie and displays it to the
client. If no incoming cookie is present a new marshal cookie is set.
This example uses "secret007" as the secret for HMAC signature.
from mod_python import apache, Cookie
def handler(req):
cookies = Cookie.get_cookie(req, Cookie.MarshalCookie,
secret='secret007')
if cookies.has_key('spam'):
spamcookie = cookies['spam']
req.write('Great, a spam cookie was found: %s\n' \
% str(spamcookie))
if type(spamcookie) is Cookie.MarshalCookie:
req.write('Here is what it looks like decoded: %s=%s\n'
% (spamcookie.name, spamcookie.value))
else:
req.write('WARNING: The cookie found is not a \
MarshalCookie, it may have been tapered with!')
else:
# MarshaCookie allows value to be any marshallable object
value = {'egg_count': 32, 'color': 'white'}
Cookie.add_cookie(req, Cookie.MarshalCookie('spam', value, \
'secret007'))
req.write('Spam cookie not found, but we just set one!\n')
return apache.OK
