I'm trying to set a cookie that will expire in 24 hours. I've tried
CODE Set-Cookie: score=10; path=/; expires=time()+86400 and I've tried CODE Set-Cookie: score=10; path=/; max-age=86400 both on Unix and on Windows servers, but in every case I get a session cookie only. What's wrong? |

Try testing my code, if you will. I've done it from this Perl script and with conventional HTML, and it always generates cookies. My question is, why are they session cookies rather than carrying the expiration date as the code requires? If you think it's the positioning that's at fault, how would you reposition this in the HTML? Please test your code before posting. Here's the output of the script:
CODE Set-Cookie: topic=Consciousness; path=/; expires=time()+86400 Set-Cookie: score=10; path=/; max-age=86400 Set-Cookie: smarts=20; path=/; expires=time()+86400 Set-Cookie: playlevel=30; path=/; max-age=86400 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US"> <head> <title>Set Cookie</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> </head> <body> <h1>The cookie has been set!</h1> </body> </html> |
