How to set HTTPOnly attribute on cookies

Hi


We know that cookies created by SAP software can have HTTPOnly attribute set using the icf/set_HTTPonly_flag_on_cookies profile parameter.


However, we want to set HTTPOnly flag on the cookies we create in our software, but the SET_COOKIE() method doesn't have any parameters to set HTTPonly attribute. Can anyone suggest the best way to set HTTPOnly attribute on a cookie programatically?

Thanks

Tim

Hi,

I haven't tested this but based on this

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/BB/1BCF2122FD4A76948816B1342F20D7/frameset.htm

you should be able to force HTTP only flag on all cookies using icf/set_HTTPonly_flag_on_cookies.

Cheers

We found that setting icf/set_HTTPonly_flag_on_cookies works for cookies created by SAP NetWeaver ICF code, but if our code is calling set_cookie() to set a cookie, then the HTTPOnly flag is not set.
