set-cookie problem

[akram]

Hi All
When i am using the set-cookie function, a line is displayed to the screen showing the path to where the cookie was set. Here is the text visible on the top of the browser:

====================================================
Set-Cookie: testcookie=akram; path=/cgi-bin/web.sh
==========================================
Any Ideas on why this is displaying and how to get rid of this. Can someone help me to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

use "setCookie" always after "output-content-type"

{src/web2/wrap-cgi.i}
RUN SetCookie IN WEB-UTILITIES-HDL
("TEST", "1234", TODAY + 5,TIME, ?, ?, ?).
output-content-type ("text/html").

Thanks for the repy! I have following code in output-header procedure. "output-content-type" is used
after set-cookie. Do you see any issue in the following code?

/*------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose: Output the MIME header, and any "cookie" information needed
by this procedure.
Parameters: <none>
Notes: In the event that this Web object is State-Aware, this is also
a good place to set the "Web-State" and "Web-Timeout"
attributes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* We only perform the verify security cookie routine if the user has
logged on - as this function may be run from outside the application. */

IF get-cookie('testcookie') = "" THEN
set-cookie("testcookie","akram", ?, ?, ?, ?, ?).

IF get-value(ENCODE("UserID":U)) <> "":U THEN DO:
/*MESSAGE "checking session".*/
{psagent/getsess.i &xcRunHeader=Yes}.

END.

{pscommon/getcommn.i}
{psagent/preferen.i}
{psagent/ldfunfld.i &xcProcName="wwvehquote.w"}

lTravelAgent = (getUserType(gcUserId) = "TravelAgent":U).
IF lTravelAgent THEN
DO:

lHidePricePres = hidePricePres(gcUserID).
MESSAGE "lhidePrice" lHidePricePres.
END.
output-content-type ("text/html":U).

END PROCEDURE.

try RUN SetCookie IN WEB-UTILITIES-HDL ? is the same error ?

When i am using the set-cookie function, a line is displayed to the screen showing the path to where the cookie was set.

As Rares said, the reason is the output-content-type was already set which means the HTTP header section ended and now everything you send to the web-stream is going to made it into the page.

Among things you can check you can try to find out if:
- output-content-type might have been called in process-web-request
- run-web-object was used and the called object did set the content-type
- the web-object from which you are trying to set the cookie was called by other web-object at a point where the content-type was already set.

Thanks every one for the response!

The issue is resolved. The problem was that set-cookie function was already used in the starting page of the application to set the cookie value for other cookies.

I set my new cookie on the same page and problem got resolved
