Retrieving Cookies

[whois1230]

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 = XYZ123

I 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.

[snippsat]

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This is old code an outdated code,as mention i your other Thread,should not use CGI.
