Cookies and Expires values ?

[PeterMac]

I have code that depends on the expiry date of a cookie. I can set the expiry date of the cookie, but I can't figure out how to get the value of the Expires property.
I tried this...
<%= Request.Cookies(&quot;Voted&quot.expires %>
but it calved on me...
I know that if the cookie does not exist that I will get an empty string, but I want to do something with the date value. Is there any way to pick this value up ?

Here's an idea.

When you write cookie to the user's computer, add one more key to it to
Let's assume you're your (&quot;Voted&quot cookie like that:

<%

response.cookies(&quot;Voted&quot(&quot;Name&quot = something
response.cookies(&quot;Voted&quot(&quot;Birthday&quot= something
response.cookies(&quot;Voted&quot.expires = date + 365

%>


Just add one more key , (&quot;Expires&quot, to cookie to hold cookie's expiration date:


<%

response.cookies(&quot;Voted&quot(&quot;Name&quot = something
response.cookies(&quot;Voted&quot(&quot;Birthday&quot= something
response.cookies(&quot;Voted&quot(&quot;Expires&quot= date + 365
response.cookies(&quot;Voted&quot.expires = date + 365
%>


Now you'll be able to get this value, which is the same as cookie's expiry date:

<%response.write request.cookies(&quot;Voted&quot(&quot;Expires&quot%>
