I am trying to set a cookie on an HTML page
func testCookie(c *gin.Context) {
c.SetCookie("test1", "testvalue", 10, "/", "", true, true)
c.HTML(200, "dashboard", gin.H{
"title": "Dashboard",
}
}
This should have set the cookie on the HTML page but it doesn't. My server is running to serve https requests. I am not sure why I am not able to set cookies here. I am using google-chrome and ideally I should have been able to see the cookie there.
The issue is with your maxAge
input. Your current code instructs the browser to delete your cookie in 10 seconds.
Gin is wrapping http.SetCookie
and creating a http.Cookie
for you. To better understand what is happening you should read through those two links.
MaxAge=0 means no 'Max-Age' attribute specified.
MaxAge<0 means delete cookie now, equivalently 'Max-Age: 0'
MaxAge>0 means Max-Age attribute present and given in seconds
