John DeSol just pointed out that my idea would not work.. I just did some
testing to see what John was talking about.
Using Firefox and Xojo I ran the following test with cookies enabled…
session.Cookies.Set("testing","test")
if Session.Cookies.Value("testing") = "test" then
MsgBox "Cookies are NOT disabled: "+Session.Cookies.Value("testing")
else
MsgBox "Cookies are MAY BE disabled: "+Session.Cookies.Value("testing")
end if
As expected it reported that cookies were NOT disabled. Watching cookies in the
Web Developer Storage tab in Firefox. however, I could not see the cookie until
I refreshed the browser.
Then I ran the same thing with cookies disabled and surprisingly I got that
cookies were still NOT disabled. In the storage tab as before I could not see
the cookie, only this time when I refreshed the browser, I still did not see
the cookie.
After a bit of more testing, I have concluded that as John stated cookies are
not in fact set until the browser receives a request subsequent to the one that
sets the cookie.
I will be exploring further why Xojo is seeing the cookie when in fact it has
not been set. I suspect that it is not really reading the cookie from the
browser but instead storing the cookie value for the duration of the current
request. Perhaps it has to, since it really cannot be read from the browser yet.
In any event, I do not think that testing for a test cookie is going to work.
At least it will not work using a Xojo web app.
