How can I remove 'no-cache=“Set-Cookie”' when I add a cookie to a HttpResponse?

Question

I\'m currently returning a cookie from a web service with code like this:

HttpResponse response = ...;
var cookie = new HttpCookie(cookieName)
{
    Value = cook         


        

Answer 1

HttpResponse determines whether it should add this directive based on whether the Cookies collection is non-empty. Therefore, if you add the header manually you can hide its presence from .NET:

response.AddHeader("Set-Cookie", String.Format(
        "{0}={1}; expires={2}; path=/; secure; HttpOnly",
        cookieName, cookieValue, expiresDate.ToString("R")));
