NimbostratusSimple Cookie Insert Question
If I were to create a simple cookie insert IRULE as such:
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
HTTP::cookie insert name foo value boo
}
Would this always replace the same cookie even if I take different paths through the site? Or, would I need to specify the path for the cookie, so as to not create multiple cookies with the same name in users browsers which could fill the limit of cookies from a specific domain and potential push out valuable cookies such as the persitence cookie of the JSession cookie.
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
HTTP::cookie insert name foo value boo path /
}
Thanks,
Andrea
- That should overwrite the cookie in question, but you may want to do a delete then an insert just to be sure.

If you repeatedly set a cookie with the same name and value the browser will only store a single instance of the cookie. If the value changed over time or there were multiple instances of the same cookie with different values in a response, the browser would use only the last value. If the path or domain are unique then multiple instances of the cookie would be stored by the browser.
