Retrieving Cookies - whois1230 - Nov-21-2020
Hello, I wrote the following code and ran it:
#!/usr/bin/python3 # Import modules for CGI handling from os import environ import cgi, cgitb if environ.has_key('HTTP_COOKIE'): for cookie in map(strip, split(environ['HTTP_COOKIE'], ';')): (key, value ) = split(cookie, '='); if key == "UserID": user_id = value if key == "Password": password = value print ("User ID = %s" % user_id) print ("Password = %s" % password)The result I was supposed to get is:User ID = XYZ Password = XYZ123I got an error:

Hi,
Where did you find
os.environ has a method has_key()?I don't see it in the documentation.
I think you should do something like:
var_cookie = environ['HTTP_COOKIE']... and see what it contains.
RE: Retrieving Cookies - snippsat - Nov-21-2020
has_key is removed in Python 3.Call it directly
environ['HTTP_COOKIE']This is old code an outdated code,as mention i your other Thread,should not use CGI.
