Question

I want to read the cookies I have set on the client with cgi and bash. However, by searching around I found that the suggestion is to use jQuery. The problem is that I want to check the cookie server-side and not client-side.

I need the cookie for implementing a login-based authentication of my users. The session should be timed-out by the server and so on.

Answer 1

use this code to display cookies

#!/bin/bash

echo 'Content-Type: text/plain'
echo
echo $HTTP_COOKIE
