Is it possible to add http headers. for example set-cookie, via ampscript or ssjs in ExactTarget?

Question

I would prefer not to use javascript to set a cookie if possible. I am pretty sure it's possible to read a cookie using HTTPRequestHeader(S1), but I'd like to be able to set one when a user submits a form.

Answer 1

You can use SSJS. There's a SetValue and GetValue function for the HTTPHeader:

• Server-Side JavaScript Functions

Answer 2

David's correct. You can do it by setting the HTTP Header, but there's a more intuitive function out there. To set a cookie with SSJS:

Platform.Response.SetCookie("MyCookie", "MyCookieValue");

The SetCookie function has a few overloaded variants:

SetCookie(string name, string value)
SetCookie(string name, string value, DateTime expirationDate)
SetCookie(string name, string value, bool secureOnly)
SetCookie(string name, string value, DateTime expirationDate, bool secureOnly)
