See more HTTP Examples

This example demonstrates how to get the cookies that have been received from the HTTP server. C

#include <C_CkHttp.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    HCkHttp http;
    const char *html;
    const char *xmlStr;

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

    http = CkHttp_Create();

    // When the HTTP object's SaveCookies property is enabled, cookies received from the 
    // server are saved either to the directory specified by CookieDir (where they are stored as XML files) 
    // or in memory if "memory" is specified.

    CkHttp_putSaveCookies(http,TRUE);
    CkHttp_putCookieDir(http,"memory");

    // Do a few GET's 
    html = CkHttp_quickGetStr(http,"https://google.com/");
    html = CkHttp_quickGetStr(http,"https://stripe.com/");

    // Examine the cookies received from each domain.
    xmlStr = CkHttp_getCookieXml(http,"google.com");
    printf("%s\n",xmlStr);

    // Sample output:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // <cookies>
    //     <cookie key=".google.com,/,AEC" v="0" expire="Tue, 17-Feb-2026 11:32:20 GMT" secure="yes">
    //         <AEC>AVh_......</AEC>
    //     </cookie>
    //     <cookie key=".google.com,/,NID" v="0" expire="Fri, 20-Feb-2026 11:32:20 GMT">
    //         <NID>525=A57i.......</NID>
    //     </cookie>
    // </cookies>

    xmlStr = CkHttp_getCookieXml(http,"stripe.com");
    printf("%s\n",xmlStr);

    // Sample output:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // <cookies>

    // </cookies>
