Hi,
I am having two problems with HTCookie:
1) When trying to access 'http://ojps.aip.org' the server sets a cookie
'cookon=true' and refers me (302) a '.jsp' page which actually tests
if the cookie 'cookon' is set. If not, an error-page is displayed.
However, WWWLib does not process 'SetCookie' before accessing the '.jsp'
page and thus I end up with a 'Cookies not enabled' page.
2) Not really a bug. A site (
http://www4.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/medline.html ) uses cookies
containing '='. When retreiving a cookie from the cookielist (in a
'cookie=value;' format)
the list is searched, breaking at every occurance of '=' or ';'.
Thus, 'acookie=abc=de;' gives
the name/value pair 'acookie'/'abc'. It gets worse for the next
cookies in the list... I don't think
that an '=' belongs in a cookie so its no bug, but it can be fixed
by specifically breaking on a ';'
when retrieving the 'value' part.
But, how to solve problem nr. 1?
