Confusing ASP.NET session cookie rewriting with HttpOnly flag version 10

Hi Nitass

 

 

That works perfectly, many thanks for your time and effort.

 

 

Could you just confirm I understand this code correctly please? (apologies, this is a new language for me and I like to learn ;-))

 

 

set myValues [HTTP::header values "Set-Cookie"] <-- This creates array or equivilent of "Set-Cookie" Headers and values.

 

HTTP:: header remove "Set-Cookie" <-- removes all headers with "Set-Cookie"

 

For each, well thats obvious

 

Now the scan line is a bit more interesting:

 

scan [lindex $mycookies 0] {%[^=]=%[^;]} currentname currentvalue

 

OK scan is for parsing strings. I am guessing that lindex $mycookes 0 will actually return the whole string of the cookie including flags and is just a different way of getting these values. There would not be anything in position 1?

 

Now the next bit looks like a regular expression..But not quite? It seems to say "anything up to the first equals From the first equals anything up to the first semicolon" What I don't get is how this ties into the two variables. How does it define the start and end of a string to go into the variable? Is it simple on the ^=? As ^ appears to be a "stop here"?

 

The rest of course makes sense.

 

 

Once again, many thanks for your time and effort on this, it is greatly appreciated.
