figuring out bug with django cookies: not working on server

[Samuel Muiruri]

I have a site that relies on checking if a cookie exists for service_id and if it does checks if you can upload files for service... this works nicely offline but on pushing changes to server it created a bug where even though the cookie can be seen (on the dev console)

and I assign the cookie to a context variable which ends up saying None even though I can see the cookie from the dev console.

class PictureCreateView(CreateView):
    model = Picture
    fields = "__all__"
    template_name = 'accounts/upload-file.html'

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):

        context = super(PictureCreateView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['service_id'] = self.request.COOKIES.get('service_id', None)

        return context

on the template

{% if service_id %}
    #display form
{% else %}
    Sorry it seems you're missing some vital data needed before ...
{% endif %}

any ideas?

can you show the code where you set the cookie before retrieving it
