[Zope] Re: reading a cookie from another PATH??

[Trevor Toenjes]

There might be a better way to do this, but I am attempting to do user
tracking thru the site based on a GUID.
My goal is true click-stream collection and analysis.
Calling a setGUID method doesnt seem to work, and I dont know if it is
cookies behavior or my code?  if you come into the site thru /foo, one way
works,

Folder www.bar.com
###index_html
<dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('GUID')">
  <dtml-var GUID>
<dtml-else>
<dtml-var setGUID>
</dtml-if>

###dtml-method - setGUID
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ts', ZopeTime())">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('uid_global',_.str(_.int(ts)))">
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('GUID', uid_global, expires='Wed, 19 Feb 2020
14:28:00 GMT',domain='.bar.com', path='/')">

Folder www.bar.com/foo
###dtml-method
<dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('GUID')">
  <dtml-var body_root>
<dtml-else>
<dtml-var setGUID>
</dtml-if>
<dtml-var GUID>    <--! fails to render if this is the users first page,
says Error:KeyError/GUID -->


Thank you for the help,
-Trevor
