How to set-cookie in CGI with C?

in perl, one can use:

use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
use strict;
....
print "Set-Cookie: user=john;password=secret;path=/;


However, in C if you just use
printf("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
...
printf("Set-Cookie: user=john;password=secret;path=/;");

You get that printed in the screen.

What do you include in order for the cgi to setup the cookie?

Thanks.

In fact you are writing an HTTPheader directly -no need for CGI for that-
A header of that kind ends with a blanc line...
.... the _ second_ \n in the first printf() is such a line.

All data following that blanc line is considered data and so your browser is
displaying it.
