Clear Cookies
Hello,
When clearing cookies, does that have to happen before setting cookies? Lets say the script sets a cookie and then later on (but before any hputs) the script says "hey we shouldn't have set this cookie", can it be cleared?
Thanks!
Karl

Try running the 'examples.ttml' script, or take the code from it,
which shows you how to loop through all the ENV vars and print them
out:-)

Oddly enough, I get the same thing. They *are* however being set.
You might try adding the expiration date '-expires' or '-domain' and
see if that helps.

I just found my "access.conf" file and in there I can see where the
authentication is being set. I'm wondering, if the UserName and Password of
the Auth_Pgwd_field(s) can then be queried by script as ENV variables?
I'm still not sure about these cookies. Are they stored locally on my
machine when I login to the site - because they don't appear to have been
saved locally.
Thanks a bunch guys!
Karl

If you want your page not to load at all, and before this, your browser to
prompt you for a username or password, that's the .htaccess file (or apache
conf file) looking like this:
AuthUserFile /home/username/public_html/members/.htpasswd
AuthName "members zone"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
you need also a .htpasswd file, which is created using the htpasswd command.
See the Apache docs for more informations

Well, basically, you set a variable for the headers, and if you need
them, then you set them. If not, then you don't:-)

Try setting an expiration date and a hostname...

You mean in mod_dtcl? It's an access thing, like using an .htaccess
file. Hmm, I don't have any code handy at the moment, does someone
else?

I am a newbie to TCL so... it makes sense but I do not know how to implement
what you have suggested. Let me ask 2 other things:
1) where are local cookies stored, because I am not seeing them on my
machine in the typical "cookies" folder
2) the page which I am trying to alter is requesting a user name and
password, its not of the web type (like on a web page) but an actual
authentication box pops up when you enter the page. What invokes this?
Thank you!
Karl

At the moment, that's not possible. But it seems it shouldn't be that
hard to get around... You could turn off buffering for that page (so
that subsequent HTML blocks don't cause the page to start printing)
and manipulate headers later on.
Does that help?
