Caching cookies in-memory.

See more HTTP Examples

Caching cookies in-memory. To automatically save cookies to an in-memory cache, set the CookieDir property equal to the keyword "memory". Also, set the SaveCookies property = _TRUE_. If the SendCookies property = _TRUE_, then any cached cookies are automatically re-sent with subsequent GETs and POSTs. Chilkat2 Java

        // subsequent HTTP requests, set the SendCookies
        // property = true.

        // Any methods that do a GET, POST, etc. will save
        // cookies to the CookieDir (which in this case is an
        // in-memory cache.

        // To fetch the XML cookie(s) for a domain, call GetCookieXml:
        String xmlStr = http.getCookieXml("paypal.com");

        System.out.println(xmlStr);

        // It's content will look something like this:

        // If another HTTP request is sent, the cookies should

        // of the last HTTP request sent.
