setting cookies
- by aharon
Okay, so I'm trying to set cookies using Ruby. I'm in a Rack environment. response[name]=value will add an HTTP header into the HTTP headers hash rack has. I know that it works.
The following method doesn't work:
def set_cookie(opts={})
args = {
:name => nil,
:value => nil,
:expires => Time.now+314,
:path => '/',
:domain => Cambium.uri #contains the IP address of the dev server this is running on
}.merge(opts)
raise ArgumentError, ":name and :value are mandatory" if args[:name].nil? or args[:value].nil?
response['Set-Cookie']="#{args[:name]}=#{args[:value]}; expires=#{args[:expires].clone.gmtime.strftime("%a, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT")}; path=#{args[:path]}; domain=#{args[:domain]}"
end
Why not? And how can I solve it? Thanks.
