a lot of questions exists that are similar to this, but none of them helped me out. Basically I'm using WSGI start_response() method link. I tried to set a dummy header in the response with the tuple [('Set-Cookie', 'token=THE_TOKEN')] and add it to start response like this:
status = '200 OK'
response = 'Success'
start_response(status,[('Set-Cookie', "DMR_TOKEN=DMR_TOKEN")])
return response
I'm not pretty sure that is working correctly, but it's here setting cookies. Now, let's suppose the header is correct and in following requests I want to authenticate a token. What would be the correct way to catch that cookie/header setted in the past ?
I've been reading and find I need something like this:
(environ.get("HTTP_COOKIE",""))
but that has been yielding empty string all the time, so I'm just assuming the header/cookie is not correctly set.
Thanks guys
I think you need to set the path explicitly to get useful behavior out of cookies, try something like:...
from Cookie import SimpleCookie
def my_app(environ, start_response):
session_cookie = SimpleCookie()
session_cookie['session'] = "somedata"
session_cookie['session']["Path"] = '/'
headers = []
headers.extend(("set-cookie", morsel.OutputString())
for morsel
in session_cookie.values())
start_response("200 OK", headers)
