    throws IOException, ServletException
    {
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        
        // print out cookies
        Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
        for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
            Cookie c = cookies[i];
            String name = c.getName();
            String value = c.getValue();
            out.println(name + " = " + value);
        }
        // set a cookie
        String name = request.getParameter("cookieName");
        if (name != null && name.length() > 0) {
            String value = request.getParameter("cookieValue");
