| Subject | Cookie fucking problem |
| Message-ID | <l4gfv7$921$1@dont-email.me> |
Hello i having the following code to try and retrieve the visitor's
saved cookie form the browser.
[CODE]
# initialize cookie and retrieve cookie from clients browser
try:
cookie = cookies.SimpleCookie( os.environ['HTTP_COOKIE'] )
cookieID = cookie['name'].value
except:
cookieID = 'visitor'
[/CODE]
It works as expected except form the fact from when the visitor enters
my webpage(superhost.gr) by clicking a backlink of another webpage.
Then even if the cookie exists in his browser for some reason the try
fails and except take actions.
Can somebody explain why this is happening?
You can see this action yourself by hitting:
1. superhost.gr as a direct hit
2. by clicking superhost.gr's backlink from ypsilandio.gr/mythosweb.gr
You will see than in 2nd occasion another ebtry will appear in the
database here:
http://superhost.gr/?show=log&page=index.html

Oh! Now you have a quite different problem. I'm sure your email spam will have plenty of offers from lovely ladies who are willing to satisfy your needs, you really don't want to be getting intimate with cookies. And if that's not what you meant, then kindly refrain from posting duplicate threads just to add profanity to the subject line. Thanks! ChrisA

The fact that you've posted Python code does not make this a Python question. Your issue is with HTTP cookies, as you have been told several times. This is irrelevant to the Python discussion group, yet you keep clamouring here for attention.

I didn't follow the thread, I am sorry if this is duplicate, but don't
catch all Exceptions, catch only the ones you expect, so that you can
identify unexpected errors:
cookie = cookies.SimpleCookie( os.environ['HTTP_COOKIE'] )
try:
cookieID = cookie['name'].value
except KeyError:
cookieID = 'visitor'

I happen to be among those who find your humour funny, Mark including the appositeness of your first rejoinder on this thread, considering the subject title. After that its tasteless and disgusting.

Would you mind telling this to others too. AFAICS Chris Angelico is just as much baiting Nikos, as Mark Lawrence is. But I don't see you reacting to Chris. So it seems you don't have a problem so much with baiting as long as the baiting is done in a way you find acceptable. Personnaly I don't see much difference between the two, so if you allow Chris baiting Nikos, I don't see why Mark should hold back. -- Antoon Pardon

Here's an analogy: Person A: "Clean my room for me!" Person B: "No. Clean it yourself. Here's the vacuum cleaner." Person A: "CLEAN MY ROOM!!!"

There is a difference between > the answer you want and the answer you need. Yes Chris is baiting. That he also provides contributions that are helpful, doesn't contradict other contributions are baiting. It is even possible for a helpful contribution to be baiting. If you know that a generally helpful contribution, will probably just invite Nikos to plead, insist, whine, ... that you solve the problem for him then you are baiting him just as well. >> But I don't see you reacting >> to Chris. So it seems you don't have a problem so much with baiting as >> long as the baiting is done in a way you find acceptable. >> >> Personnaly I don't see much difference between the two, so if you allow >> Chris baiting Nikos, I don't see why Mark should hold back. > > Here's an analogy: > > Person A: "Clean my room for me!" > Person B: "No. Clean it yourself.

That difference is only important the first few times. If you already suggested the vacuum cleaner countless times and you know that suggesting the vacuum cleaner will result in a temper tantrum then after a while, you suggesting the vaccuum cleaner is just as much baiting. Sure it is more subtle and people who don't know the situation may not see it, but for those who know what is likely going to happen the difference is insignificant. We all know that whatever answer you give to Nikos, that if it doesn't completly solve his answer for him in a way he likes, he wil just return and demand more. So limiting your contribution to information that was already provided and which IHE didn't help, is baiting. So stop excusing this kind of behaviour under the guise that it is helpful. It isn't. -- Antoon Pardon

So he's replying to Nikos with responses that aren't helping Nikos and
just encourage more posts from Nikos. I'm sure the _intent_ is
different than Mark's, but unfortunately, the result is identical.

Maybe it would be better overall if I never even try to help him, but sometimes I just get all paladiny... it feels wrong to *not* answer. And yeah, I know pallies are fairly often doing the wrong thing just to be Lawful Good. The weird bit is, I generally consider myself to be Chaotic Good... or Chaotic Neutral even. I'm not a paladin at all! ChrisA

Maybe you can find some semantical rule, that will give your behaviour an other etiket than "baiting", in the end the effect on the list is the same, with Nikos feeling entitled to insist to get an answer. And if we want this to be a welcoming community, then we have to care about the effects and not about the semantical category. So should you want this to be a welcoming community, then you are focussing on the wrong point. > Maybe it would be > better overall if I never even try to help him, but sometimes I just > get all paladiny... it feels wrong to *not* answer. What do you mean it feels wrong not to answer? Do you participate in every subject? Do you engage at least everybody? Do you answer every question that went unanswered? As far as I can see the answer is no to each of these questions, so how come it feels wrong to not answer Nikos? -- Antoon Pardon

But there is a distinction between (say) Chris' response and Mark's. The effect on Nikos is the same, but the effect on other readers, especially readers new to the list, is very different. We've already seen a few new people explicitly asking, "is this what usually happens on this list?" and they weren't referring to the Chris-style response, they were referring to the Mark-style response. If we want this to be a welcoming community, we have to understand that there are many more readers than there are authors, and the impression we make on them matters too. Responding negatively, no matter how humorously, is not going to improve the group. It might amuse the regulars, but it is not building a strong and welcoming community. I also happen to think that responding negatively won't even achieve its stated purpose of making the help-vampire go away. --Ned.
