Library: omhttp - HTTP support Include: omhttp.xin

Declaration

  define function HttpObjectSetCookieAttribute
                 modifiable  stream HttpObject
     for         value       stream CookieName
     attribute   value       stream AttrName
     to          value       stream AttrValue

  where

HttpObject

is an HTTP request or HTTP response object (input argument).

CookieName

is the name of the cookie. Note that any preceding "$" symbol should be omitted (input argument).

AttrName

is the name of the cookie attribute (input argument).

AttrValue

is the value to assign to the cookie attribute (input argument).

Use HttpObjectSetCookieAttribute to set a named attribute value for a cookie header in an HTTP request or response object.

Requirements

You must include the following line at the beginning of your OmniMark program:

  include "omhttp.xin"

Usage Notes

If a nonexistent cookie name is specified, the HTTP object will be in error. Usually, HttpObjectSetCookieAttribute is called in a server program.

Examples

Set both request and response cookie attributes.

  ; HttpObjectSetCookieAttribute
  include "omhttp.xin"

  process

     local HttpRequest my-Request
     local HttpResponse my-Response

     HttpObjectSetCookieAttribute my-Request
        for "DocUserID" attribute "Domain" to "www.omnimark.com"
     HttpObjectSetCookieAttribute my-Response
        for "DocUserID" attribute "Domain" to "www.omnimark.com"

Create a function to set cookie attributes.

  include "omhttp.xin"

  define function SetUserIdCookie
    (modifiable stream http-object,
     value      stream cookie-name,
     value      stream cookie-value,
     value      stream user-id)
  as
    HttpObjectSetCookieValue http-object for cookie-name to user-id
    HttpObjectSetCookieAttribute http-object
      for cookie-name attribute "Domain" to "www.omnimark.com"
    HttpObjectSetCookieAttribute http-object
      for cookie-name attribute 'Path' to '/'

The following line calls the above function:

  SetUserIdCookie(my-http-object, cookie-name, cookie-value, user-id)
