Cookies Storage and use

[Rob Mostyn]

Hi Mike,

I don’t have an immediate solution for you but you might like to be aware of this recent news from a support request I had:

ST/JS/3690 ER - A way for JS Client Remote Tasks to receive a list of headers from the client
RESTful Remote Tasks allow you to get this information, but JS Client Remote Tasks do not.

Just like for the cookies we added recently, now there's another new row in the first row parameter of a remote task or remote form $construct:headers will contain all the headers we received and their value.

ST/TC/043 - Add cookies to remote task $construct
A remote task's $construct row parameter should now have a new row inside (when cookies are available) named cookies, with each column matching the key of the cookie and the value, its value.

These enhancements will be coming out in 11.2 (currently available if you use Studio Now).

Cheers,
Rob Mostyn
