Re: Cookie problems V 1.29

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian,

HTTPAPI has had cookie support since version 1.14, though it was turned 
off by default until 1.16.   But, since both of these are older than 
1.20, I'm guessing that someone in your organization must have disabled 
it when you installed 1.20.  Since 1.20 was 8 years ago, there's a good 
chance that you would no longer remember doing this.

If you need it disabled, probably the best solution is to put a call in 
your program to disable it.  That way, future upgrades will keep working 
because the cookie support has been disabled in your program rather than 
in HTTPAPI, so you won't need to modify HTTPAPI each time.

To do this, put this in your code:

      callp httpapi_use_cookies(*off)


I see in your e-mail that you tried calling HTTP_COOKIE_DEFAULT. This is 
a constant, not a procedure, so it cannot be called.  But, 
http_use_cookies() is a procedure and is designed for this.  The 
procedures you can call are listed in the httpapi_h member -- look for 
"PR" after the name, that will tell you that it's callable. When you see 
"C" after the name, it's a constant.  When you see "S", it's a variable, 
or "DS" is a datastructure.  Those cannot be called, only the ones with 
"PR".

Good luck.

-SK
