WOCookie after browser restart?

Hi All

I’ve tried fussing around with various arguments but for whatever reason my WOCookie always dies when the browser restarts?

WOCookie cookie = new WOCookie(“USER_ID", userIdentifierCode, "/", null, -1, true);
cookie.setExpires(null);

I’ve tried various expires and timeout combinations can anyone say what it is that I’m doing wrong ?

Seems DISTANT FUTURE is a common need, so I’m confused!

thanks

Jesse,

I see that there are overloaded constructors. maybe it doesn’t like being set once it is created!

WOCookie cookie = new WOCookie(“USER_ID", userIdentifierCode, "/", null, -1, null, true);
(remove the setExpires)

public WOCookie(final String name, final String value, final String path, final String domain, final NSTimestamp expires, final boolean isSecure) {
this(name, value, path, domain, expires, isSecure, false);
}

just curious if setting the expires in the constructor does anything different!

I think I’ve tried everything I could think of —

Do you have say, a login cookie that lasts after browser restart?

Paste in your initializer and I’ll try it —

I read something about setting the setExpires specifically to nil and tried it any number of ways.

This is mine.

WOCookie cookie = new WOCookie(userGUIDCookieKey, guid, "/", null, 2592000, false);

I recall having an issue with setting it to secure. I think -1 didnât work but itâs been a long time.

Nice, glad that worked. Did you set secure to true? Or was it the -1?

I just used what you threw me and right off it just worked as planned.

Basically the test is to log in locally, quite browser and return and if youâre still logged in? Then it worked.

Maybe we should make note in the wiki pages?

There was very little about WOCookie, but a simple listing of a line that works could help Iâd imagineâŠ
