#include <CkHttp.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    CkString strOut;

    // This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkHttp http;

    // When the HTTP object's SaveCookies property is turned on, the cookies received from the server
    // are persited to the CookieDir, which could be a directory where cookie XML files are persisted,
    // or the keyword "memory" to keep an in-memory store.

    http.put_SaveCookies(true);
    http.put_CookieDir("memory");

    // Do a few GET's 
    const char *html = http.quickGetStr("https://www.google.com/");
    html = http.quickGetStr("https://www.amazon.com/");

    // Examine the cookies received from each domain.
    const char *googleCookies = http.getCookieXml("www.google.com");
    strOut.append(googleCookies);
    strOut.append("\r\n");

    // Sample output:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    // <cookies>
    //     <cookie key=".google.com,/,NID" v="0" expire="Mon, 25-Sep-2017 04:26:57 GMT">

    const char *amazonCookies = http.getCookieXml("www.amazon.com");
