Does oorexx contain any mechanism akin to browser cookies?

So, you can store a value with a given name (Like a stem variable), but
you can also make the "cookie" persistent?

I'm not after things like expiry dates for the "persistent cookies".
Having the equivalent of "PATH", so you can store different cookies
called "NAME" from different programs, would be very useful.

This would make an interesting project in creating a new class from
scratch, but I'm happy to use an existing wheel rather than inventing my
own.

Hmm, it seems that my morning posting was not distributed, hence retrying: take a look at the ooRexx
.Properties class, which might do what you want including saving it to disk.

HTH,

I usuall go directly to the oorexx homepage to lookup things like this,
but it seems unreachable at the moment.

The tracert is rather confusing (when the destination address reports
that the destination address is unreachable):

People are reporting on the TSOREXX listserv that rexxla.org is MIA,
too. Anybody heard from Les Koehler lately?

It may not get resolved until next week due to limited resources.

Apologies to all!

Steve,

Do take a look at the Properties class for what you want. I use it for
holding all our Membership and Symposium Registration data, even though
I'm not thoroughly Object-ified yet.

If you'd like to see some real code that uses it, let me know.

Steve,

Have a look at Rexx/CURL;http://rexxcurl.sf.net
If supports all URL-related functionality as a Rexx extension package.

Cheers, Mark

Our server is back up! That includes rexxla.org and oorexx.org
Many thanks to Brandon Cherry and Mark Hessling for their tireless efforts!
