Is there a simple script somewhere I can look at that sends and retrieves cookies via CGI?

# ----- create -----
#! /usr/local/bin/python -O

def set_cookie():
   import time
   t = time.gmtime(time.time())
   t = (t[0] + 10,) + t[1:] # add 10 years :)

   import Cookie
   cookie = Cookie.Cookie()

   cookie["id"] = str(1024)
   cookie["id"]["expires"] = time.strftime("%a, %d-%b-%Y %T GMT", t)
   cookie["id"]["path"] = "/"

   print cookie


try:
   print "Content-type: text/html"
   set_cookie()
   print "Location: test_c.py"

except:
   #print exception

# ----- test -----
#! /usr/local/bin/python -O

def get_cookie():
   import os, Cookie
   cookie = Cookie.Cookie(os.environ.get("HTTP_COOKIE"))
   c = cookie.output("Cookie: ")
   if c:
      print c
   else:
      print "Cookies not found"


try:
   print "Content-type: text/html"
   print
   get_cookie()

except:
   #print exception


If you use weblib (http://weblib.sourceforge.net/ - get the cvs version,
not the snapshot):
-----------------------

import weblib

## show cookies from the browser:

print "the cookies are:"
print "<ul>"

for c in weblib.request.cookie.keys():
    print "<li><b>%s</b> - %s</li>", (c, weblib.request.cookie[c])

print "</ul>"



## set some new cookies:

weblib.response.setCookie("x", "this is x")
weblib.response.setCookie("y", "this is y")
