Python parsing set-cookie header
Question: In PHP I send one cookie with secure and http only flags, and other without

    
    
    setcookie("c2","value");
    setcookie("c1","value", 0, "/", "", true, true);
    

It produces header

    
    
    Set-Cookie: c2=value, c1=value; path=/; secure; httponly
    

In firebug I can see, this is OK (c1 secure flag is True, c2 is False)

I want to get which one of them is not using secure flag My python code:

    
    
    cookies = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
    cookies.load(headers['set-cookie'])
    print cookies
    
    Output:
    Set-Cookie: c1=value; Path=/\\r\\nSet-Cookie: c2=value
    

headers['set-cookie'] **does** contain original set-cookie header, it's ok
According to python documentation printing(handling as string) SimpleCookie
instance should create set-cookie header. Point is, that something is missing
after parsing original header. Morsels also contains wrong values (secure and
http only).

Is this some kind of misconfiguration or it's a bug in python library ? Thanks
:)


Answer: This might be a bit late but saw your question and thought you may still need
help. The code I use to read a cookie is:

    
    
    import Cookie,os
    def getCookieData():
        try:
            cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie(os.environ["HTTP_COOKIE"])
            session = cookie['usrSession'].value
            return session
        except (Cookie.CookieError, KeyError):
            return None
    

My cookie string its something along the lines of:

    
    
    Cookie: usrSession=12345
    

Hope this helps
