2.4.5 Extracting Cookies

(require web-server/http/cookie-parse)

(struct client-cookie (name value domain path))

name : string?

value : string?

domain : (or/c false/c valid-domain?)

path : (or/c false/c string?)

While server cookies are represented with cookie?s, cookies that come from the client are represented with a client-cookie structure.

(request-cookies req) → (listof client-cookie?)

req : request?

Extracts the cookies from req’s headers.

Examples:

(define (start req)

(define cookies (request-cookies req))

(define id-cookie

(findf (lambda (c)

(string=? "id" (client-cookie-name c)))

cookies))

(if id-cookie

(hello (client-cookie-value id-cookie))

(redirect-to

(url->string (request-uri req))

see-other

#:headers

(list

(cookie->header (make-cookie "id" "joseph"))))))

(define (hello who)

`(html (head (title "Hello!"))

(body

(h1 "Hello "

,who))))
