typeerror while retriving cookies in web2py

var websites = new Array("http://www.abc.com","http://www.123.com");
//i am writin cookies like this in javascript in view
var web=websites[1] ;
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + 24);
var visit= web +" ;expires= "+ exdate.toUTCString();
document.cookie= "mycookie =" + visit;

now while retriving it in controller print request.cookies i can see my cookies is there

if request.cook开发者_JAVA百科ies.has_key("mycookie"):#geting true         
value=request.cookies("mycookie").value 

giving me exception <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>

why?

In this case request.cookies is a dictionary, so you must access it as such. As you did:

value=request.cookies("mycookie").value 

This is treating request.cookies as a function, which is why you get a TypeError since it is not a function. To access a value in a dictionary given the key, you can use:

value=request.cookies["mycookie"].value
