I add this method to my SitePage for setting cookies:
def setCookie(self, key, value, path='/', expires='ONCLOSE',
secure=False):
cookie = Cookie(key, value)
if expires == 'ONCLOSE' or not expires:
pass # this is already default behavior
elif expires == 'NOW' or expires == 'NEVER':
t = time.gmtime(time.time())
if expires == 'NEVER':
t = (t[0] + 10,) + t[1:]
t = time.strftime("%a, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT", t)
cookie.setExpires(t)
else:
cookie.setExpires(t.strftime("%a, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT", t))
if path:
cookie.setPath(path)
self.response().addCookie(cookie)
This assumes you are using mxDateTime -- it would be nice to support the
DateTimeDelta type as well. I don't think I ever use anything but
ONCLOSE and NEVER, though.
