set Environment variable as cookie

[erosik]

I believe it is possible to set a cookie using the environment variable's value, for e.g i want the set the value of HTTP_HOST as cookie value. so i used the below syntax

Header set Set-Cookie ref_test=%{HTTP_HOST}e;expires=30days;path=/;domain=www.x.net;

but when the cookie is set the value of the HTTP_HOST is not transposing it is set as %{HTTP_HOST}e itself, instead of the host name

How to achieve this?

Can't reproduce;

Header set Set-Cookie ref=%{HTTP_HOST}e;expires=30days;path=/;domain=localhost;

returns this response header:

Set-Cookie: ref=localhost;expires=30days;path=/;domain=localhost;

If an env could not be resolved, its value should be

(null)

instead of the plain string.

Thank you very much for the quick reply,

But is there any possibility to set the value of the cookie dynamically, i mean for e.g. if

[localhost...] is hit

i want set the somedomainname as cookie.

I have done this in apache 2.x with CO flag in the rewrite rule

But can i achieve the same with apache 1.x

IIRC mod_headers in 1.3/1.2 doesn't support ENVs at all.

Thanks a lot for pointing this to me.
