Chapter 6 HTTP Requests and Header Settings
HTTP Header Settings
This functionality allows you to make the content of any page that is sent to the phone expire. When a user presses the Exit softkey, the user goes back to the last URL that did not expire when it was loaded. This differs from traditional browsers by not considering the current freshness of the data but the freshness of the data when the URL was requested. This requires you to have a page expire when it is first loaded and to not set a time and date in the future.
The following example shows how to have content on IIS expire by using Active Server Page (ASP):
<%@ Language=JavaScript %> <%
Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
Response.Expires =
%>
The “Expires” property specifies the number of minutes to wait for the content to expire. Setting this value to
Set-Cookie Header Setting
A “cookie” is a term for a mechanism that the Web server uses to give the client a piece of data and have the client return the data with each request. The two traditional uses for cookies are:
•For Web sites to store a unique identifier and/or other information on the client's file system. The information is available to the Web server on subsequent visits.
•To track a unique identifier for state management. The client returns the cookie with each request and the server uses this identifier to index information about the current session. The identifier is commonly referred to as a session ID. Most Web servers have a
The following example shows the
The Cisco Unified IP Phone can receive and use a total of four cookies per host per session and can store information for up to eight sessions at once. Each cookie can be up to 255 bytes in size. These cookies are available until the server terminates the session or the client session has been idle for more than 30 minutes. On the latest generation phones which are capable of running multiple applications concurrently (Cisco Unified IP Phones 7970G, 7971G, 7961G, 7941G, 7911G), the session state is also cleared whenever the application window closes. This behavior is consistent with
When using ASP on IIS the default server configuration automatically generates a session cookie and sends it to the client using the
