AxKit::XSP::Cookie - An XSP library for setting and getting HTTP cookies.
Add the taglib to AxKit (via httpd.conf or .htaccess):
AxAddXSPTaglib AxKit::XSP::Cookie
Add the cookie: namespace to your XSP <xsp:page> tag:
<xsp:page
language="Perl"
xmlns:xsp="
http://apache.org/xsp/core/v1"
xmlns:cookie="
http://axkit.org/NS/xsp/cookie/v1"
>
Then, put the taglib to work:
Set a cookie:
<cookie:create name="newCookie" value="somevalue" />
Get the value for a previous cookie:
<cookie:fetch name="oldCookie" />
Fetch the value for a previous cookie whose name argument
is hard-coded into the script:
<cookie:fetch name="chocolateChip"/>
Fetch the value for a previous cookie whose name is
determined at run-time:
<cookie:fetch>
<cookie:name><xsp:expr>$perl_var_containing_cookiename</xsp:expr></cookie:name>
</cookie:fetch>
Set a cookie using only hard-coded arguments:
<cookie:create
name="oatmealRaisin"
value="tasty"
expires="+3M"
>
Set a cookie using a mix of dynamic child elements and
static attributes:
<cookie:create
name="peanutButter"
domain=".mydomain.tld"
secure="1"
>
<cookie:value><xsp:expr>$cookie_value</xsp:expr></cookie:value>
<cookie:expires><xsp:expr>$cookie_expiry</xsp:expr></cookie:expires>
<cookie:path><xsp:expr>$cookie_path</xsp:expr></cookie:path>
</cookie:create>
As stated above, you can pass static arguments either as
attributes or child elements of the enclosing tag. Thus:
<cookie:create name="pistachioChocolateChunk"/>
...
and
<cookie:create>
<cookie:name>pistachioChocolateChunk</cookie:name>
...
are functionally equivalent.
