</div></div>You apparently haven't followed the tutorials carefully enough. You do<br>
know that a cookie is a piece of information that's stored in your<br>
browser, don't you? So tell me, which of the above lines of code do you<br>
suppose is responsible for informing your browser of the cookie's contents?<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div>This one:<br><br>cookie = SimpleCookie()<br><br>In the tutorial found here, for example:<br><br><a href="http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/Cookie/index.html">http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/Cookie/index.html</a><br>
<br>I read the following:<br><br><snip><br>Cookies are used as state management, and as such as usually set by the server to be stored and returned by the client. The most trivial example of creating a cookie looks something like:<br>
<br>import Cookie<br><br>c = Cookie.SimpleCookie()<br>c['mycookie'] = 'cookie_value'<br>print c<br><br>The output is a valid Set-Cookie header ready to be passed to the client as part of the HTTP response:<br>
<br>$ python Cookie_setheaders.py<br>Set-Cookie: mycookie=cookie_value<br></snip><br><br>Do not the printout words "Set-cookie" indicate the cookie has been set? Furthermore, none of the tutorials I have found state anything differently. Another example is found here:<br>
