    Dakar,

    The Expires attribute in a cookie is not supposed to be an integer.

    You can check this in RFC 6265.

    I haven't tested this code, but I believe it is closer to what you're looking for.

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [SSL::cipher version] eq "TLSv1" } {
        if { not ( [HTTP::cookie exists TLSDISABLE] ) } {
            set expires [clock format [expr { [clock seconds] + 28800 } ] -format "%a, %d-%b-%Y %T GMT" -gmt 1]
            HTTP::respond 302 Location "http://page.abc.com/sslwarning.html" "Set-Cookie" "TLSDISABLE=good; path=/; Expires=${expires}; Secure; HttpOnly"
        }
    }
}

     

    The Expires attribute would look something like this Expires=Sat, 18-Mar-2017 05:32:54 GMT
