Using a cookie for universal persistence

(This is a followup to this post: Click here)

 

 

I'm trying to use a cookie for universal persistence.

 

 

I can't seem to find any documentation that clearly describes how universal persistence rules should be constructed to work with cookies.

 

 

I gather that the general idea is:

 

1) there must be a response event in which the cookie value is extracted from the Set-Cookie header to create the persistence record;

 

and

 

2) there must be a request event in which the submitted cookie value is compared to the persistence table

 

 

However, this post: Click here and others seem to indicate that only the HTTP_RESPONSE portion is necessary to enforce persistence.

 

 

What am I missing?

 

 

/deb

 

tia for any light you can shed...

    The final rule in this post: Click here worked, although as noted, there is still a critical outstanding question about how to extract the one Set-Cookie header you want to act upon.

     

     

    /deb
  • Deb,

     

    Have you figured this one out? I have a customer asking for extracting only Set-Cookie information for logging purposes. Thanks.
