Expires string in cookie header

Question

Simple question I think, but I just can\'t seem to find an answer.

I am writing a cookie in a Java Servlet with the Cookie class which is sent to the browser in the resp

Answer 1

Something like this :

Date expdate = new Date ();
expdate.setTime (expdate.getTime() + (3600 * 1000));
String cookieExpire = "expires=" + expdate.toGMTString();
...

.. and since toGMTString() is deprecated

Date expdate= new Date();
expdate.setTime (expdate.getTime() + (3600 * 1000));
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz", java.util.Locale.US);
df.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
String cookieExpire = "expires=" + df.format(expdate);
