18. How to use cookies with CherryPy</A>
</H1>
CherryPy uses the <var>Cookie</var> module from python and in particular the <var>SimpleCookie</var> object type to handle cookies.
More information can be found here: <a class="url" href="http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-Cookie.html">http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-Cookie.html</a>
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION0019100000000000000000">
18.1 Setting cookies</A>
</H1>
In order to send a cookie to a browser, you have to use the global variable <var>response.simpleCookie</var>, which is
a <var>SimpleCookie</var> object.
<P>
The following code shows how to set a cookie in your CherryPy code:
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
CherryClass Root:
view:
def index(self):
response.simpleCookie['cookieName']='cookieValue'
response.simpleCookie['cookieName']['path']='/'
response.simpleCookie['cookieName']['max-age']=3600
response.simpleCookie['cookieName']['version']=1
return "<html><body>Hello, I just sent you a cookie</body></html>"
</pre></div>
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION0019200000000000000000">
18.2 Reading cookies</A>
</H1>
Cookies that are sent by a browser are stored in the global variable <var>response.simpleCookie</var>, which is
a <var>SimpleCookie</var> object.
<P>
The following code shows how to read a cookie in your CherryPy code:
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
CherryClass Root:
mask:
def index(self):
<html><body>
Hi, you sent me <py-eval="len(request.simpleCookie)"> cookies.<br>
Here is a list of cookie names/values:<br>
<py-for="cookieName in request.simpleCookie.keys()">
<py-eval="cookieName+': '+request.simpleCookie[cookieName].value"><br>
</py-for>
