set http = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

'  To save cookies to XML files (per domain) in a specific
'  directory, set the CookieDir property (the directory must
'  already exist and be writeable by the caller).  Also,
'  set the SaveCookies property:
http.CookieDir = "/cookieDir"
http.SaveCookies = 1

'  Any methods that do a GET, POST, etc. will save cookies
'  to the CookieDir:

html = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.paypal.com/")

'  After running this code, a "paypal_com.xml" file should appear
'  in /cookieDir.

'  It's content will look something like this:

'  <cookies>
'      <cookie key=".paypal.com,/" v="0" secure="yes">
'          <navcmd>_home-general</navcmd>
'          <HttpOnly />
'          <cwrClyrK4LoCV1fydGbAxiNL6iG>9cz...</cwrClyrK4LoCV1fydGbAxiNL6iG>
'      </cookie>
'  </cookies>

'  To cause cached cookies to be sent with 
'  subsequent HTTP requests, set the SendCookies
'  property = 1.
http.SendCookies = 1

'  If another HTTP request is sent, the cookies should
'  be added:
html = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.paypal.com/")

'  Check the LastHeader property to see the MIME header
'  of the last HTTP request sent.
'  The "Cookie" header field should be present.
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "--- LastHeader ---") & "</pre>"
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( http.LastHeader) & "</pre>"
