[cfaussie] Re: cfcookie quick question

[Mark Woods]

cfcookie tells CF to send a set-cookie header when it responds to the 
browser/client. The browser/client should then store this locally and 
depending on the expiration, path, domain and secure attributes, it should 
send that cookie value back to the server in future requests.

You don't have to use cfcookie to set a cookie, you could for example use 
cfheader or even javascript, but you can't use cfset - it just sets the 
value for a variable (and creates it if necessary) on the server, it does 
not send anything to the client. Stick with cfcookie, it'll make your code 
more readable than setting your cookies some other way.

OK: these are persistant (text) cookies

<cfcookie name="person.name.first" value="Fred" expires="never">
<cfcookie name="person.name.last" value="Flintstone" expires="never">
can the same be done using cookie scope?
<cfset cookie.person.hometown="Bedrock">
using <CFSET /> still adds it to the cookie struct but "expires=never" isn't
a valid attribute when used this way...
so, is using <CFCOOKIE /> the only way to store them as a text-based cookie?
