How to explicitly add a cookie in Watir? - cookies

I need to set a cookie in IE to execute some specific flow. I tried using the following code
ieb = Watir::IE.new
ieb.document.cookie="rememberme=foobar;Path=/; Domain=sometestdomain.com"
# Bring up browser and do bunch of stuff
However, I see that when the IE comes up, rememberme cookie is not set. Am I doing something wrong here?

You need first open browser with some document loaded from sometestdomain.com.
Then you'll be able to set cookies.

Imacro Delete only the cookies (Not CLEAR)?

I need a methode to delete all Cookies but dont delete Hystory and Cache.
The Background is:
My problem is that my Imacro Script needs a Firefox configuration that is not Default, but uses CLEAR to delete cookies, and CLEAR resets the configuration to default.
Is there a way to solve my Problem?
If you're using the JavaScript Scripting Interface in 'iMacros' for Firefox, the following code may be helpful:
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
var allCoookies = Services.cookies;
allCoookies.removeAll();

opencart: I can edit order but cannot delete it. (with Error log)

I use opencart version 2.1.0.1
Everytime I click admin > sales > order, it will pop up "error undefined." By closing that popup window, I can still edit order but cannot delete order (no response).
In my log, there is:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: order_id in
/var/www/html/opencart2101/system/storage/modification/admin/view/template/sale/order_list.tpl on line 821
The line 821 is:
url: 'index.php?route=extension/openbay/addorderinfo&token=<?php echo $token; ?>&order_id=<?php echo $order_id; ?>&status_id=' + status_id,
However, I haven't installed any openbay related module. Also, line 821 is inside <!-- --> mark. It should have no effect.
Help!
Although this is now an older version of opencart, I still see this being reported a lot around and about.
The problem occurs due to the store front adding the http url rather than the https url to the order. So firstly you need to fix that. If you dont want to read all of my explanation, you can just hit up the bold points :)
Either way BACKUP EVERYTHING actually not really, back up the file you are going to edit and backup your whole database.
open:
catalog/controller/checkout/confirm.php at around line 100
Find:
$order_data['store_url'] = HTTP_SERVER;
Change to:
$order_data['store_url'] = HTTPS_SERVER;
Now you will want to fix your database because for reasons I cannot fathom, the domain name is placed in the order along with the stores id. and when editing orders it is the usage of that directly within your admin order page that throws up the undefined notice. Basically the browser blocks the request because its trying to make an insecure request from a secure page.
Crack open phpmyadmin or whatever database tool you have on hand.
locate the table, default is oc_orders
Browsing the table, look for the column that contains your store url (i cant remember the name off hand, i think its just store_url but it will be obvious anyway. if you are multi store you will need to run the query for each
I am sure somebody can come up with a clever way to automatically convert just the http into https with a single use sql query on the one column, but this works for me.
Run SQL: adjust as appropriate
UPDATE `oc_orders` SET `store_url` = 'https://example.com' WHERE store_id = 0;

How do you acquire the rewritten CFWheels URL of an given page?

CFWheels has the URLFor() function for getting the internal URL based on supplied arguments. Is there a way to get the internal URL without supplying any arguments?
For example:
Given a user navigates to "http://somedomain.com" or "http://somedomain.com/about/" or "http://somedomain.com/contact/" is there a method like ReWrittenURL() that returns something like "/" or "/about/" or "/contact/"?
Using URLFor() with no arguments returns "/home/index" or "/about/index" or "/contact/index".
CGI.SCRIPT_NAME returns "/rewrite.cfm"
Obviously with Javascript using document.location.href I can get what I'm after.
Does CGI.path_info have the value you're looking for?
edit
At first, I deleted this post, being utterly confounded. Now I've done a little test - I downloaded the latest wheels core files (1.1.6), extracted to an IIS 7.5 (with URL Rewrite module installed) + CF9 webserver, and edited the "web.config" file in the core root, setting "enabled='true'" for the rewrite rule. Also, since I was running this example from a subfolder, I changed the path from "/rewrite.cfm" to just "rewrite.cfm". This got me to the point where I was able to successfully requests urls like this:
http://server/wheelstest/wheels/wheels
From here, I edited the layout.cfm under views/wheels, adding:
<cfdump var="#cgi#">
When I then request the above URL (/wheelstest/wheels/wheels), I see the dump for the cgi scope. Under path_info, this is the value: /wheels/wheels.
Next, I added a blank "index.cfm" file under views/wheels.
When I request /wheelstest/wheels, I get this for path_info: "/wheels".
When I request /wheelstest/wheels/, I get this for path_info: "/wheels/".
When I request /wheelstest/wheels/index, I get this for path_info: "/wheels/index".
When I request /wheelstest/wheels/index/, I get this for path_info: "/wheels/index/".
So basically - cgi.path_info is doing for me exactly what you describe you want. What is different about your setup than mine, such that it isn't returning that value for you?
there might be a better way to do this... but here I go anyway
every page gets sent the #params#
<cfdump var="#params#">
<cfoutput>#params.action#/#params.controller#/#params.key#</cfoutput>
<cfabort>
try putting that in a controller and see the results
the problem is that if the objects inside the params object don't exist you get an error. So the path that gets generated needs to check if the struct key exists and edit accordingly.
CGI.Path_Info will give you the desired results. I've been trying different options however they all failed and went into the redirect loop. As soon as I switched CGI.path_info it all started well.

How set a website as homepage in IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari with C++?

Is there a way to set a website like google.com as homepage through C++ or C ? How ?
Not sure what your motive is, but I don't think of this as something I want any code on my system to be setting out from under me. It sounds like the kind of thing adware/malware would do to your grandparents (who wouldn't know how to fix it once it's set). Note the negative comments when the question was asked of how to do it from JavaScript:
How can I set default homepage in FF and Chrome via javascript?
It's better to point people at instructions for doing it themselves. Remind with a banner which says "Make us your homepage!", and link to something along these lines:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-change-your-homepage-in-5-browsers/
If not for the aesthetic reasons, there are technical reasons not to try and write code for it. Each browser stores this information in its own place. In IE's case, there appears to be a registry setting:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
So you'd use calls to the Windows Registry API to query it and set it. But Firefox doesn't save this in the registry, it saves it in something called prefs.js and you'll be looking for:
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", .... );
Then there's Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc. All told, better to just give people directions and put them in control of their experience!
Imports Microsft.Win32
...
Module Util
Sub SetHomePage(Dim theUrl As String)
Registry.SetValue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "Start Page", theUrl)
End Sub
End Module
Yes.
Find the way each browser saves its configuration to disk and edit that (*). It may be a file, or records in a database, or some data in a central registry, or some other scheme --- the browser documentation should tell you.
To open/read/write/save/close a file, the C functions declared in the header <stdio.h> may be helpful.
(*) for Firefox it's a file named "prefs.ini" in a directory somewhere under the users home path; there may be more than 1 such file if the user has more than 1 profile.

Problem reading a cookie from within a tracking pixel in IE

I wrote a simple pixel tracking program that works something like this
Step 1) tracker.com sets a cookie
Step 2) mysite.com displays <img src="tracker.com/tracking.php">. That image reads the cookie from Step 1 & does some processing.
Works great in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. But when tested in IE, the cookie can't be read in Step 2. It's as if the cookie doesn't exist -- but I know it does.
Any idea why IE pretends the cookie doesn't exist? I've tried messing with P3P headers, no luck.
Does your domain have a privacy policy? I forget what it's called, maybe p3p? Some random list of headers that you have to add.
Try adding the domain in the src attribute to trusted sites in IE. My guess is this is security, and you've got a rather arcane security measure you're coming up against.
If the cookie setting domain is 2 letters, I believe there is a bug within IE that prevents IE from doing cookies properly with 2 letter domains. If it isn't 2 letters, then nevermind.
It may be that IE is blocking 3rd-party cookies.
Its tricky without knowing more specifics of its use, but I'm trying at this late hour to figure out how to clone the cookie for the current domain using REMOTE_ADDR
So, the first answer was more about testing... try using JS to handle this -
From site-reference.com forums..
<script type='text/javascript'>
var track = new Image();
track.src="http://www.my-site.com/tracker.php?self=" + this.location;
</script>
*NOTE: Capital "I" in image, not lowercase!
Let us know! :D
