HTTP::cookie in HTTP_RESPONSE

Ok,

 

so I have a set-cookie line which an app is setting and I need to re-format the cookie set ( bugs, yay ). Lets say the cookie is "foo"

 

I would expect that this would work but I can verify by looking at the responses it is not working.

 

 

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

 

if { [HTTP::cookie exists "foo"] } {

 

HTTP::cookie remove foo

 

}

 

}

 

 

There is a header similar to:

 

Set-Cookie: foo=;Version=0;Comment="foo Cookie";Path=/foo;Max-Age=31536000;Secure; Expires=Sat, 01-Jan-2012 00:000:00; HTTPOnly

 

 

Any idea why doing a cookie remove ( to re-add correctly later ) would not work in a response? Do I need to do this in response_data? ( I thought that was just for the body of the response which this is not, this is in headers.... )

    what I want to do is reformat the content of the Set-Cookie header on the way back out

    what I want to do is reformat the content of the Set-Cookie header on the way back outi think you may have to use HTTP::header (remove and insert) instead of HTTP::cookie. the following is an example of HTTP::header insert.

     

     

    Setting Cookie "HttpOnly" flag and Expires on Redirect and response
