Persist Cookies to XML Files and Auto Re-Send

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to persist incoming cookies to XML files and automatically re-send in subsesquent HTTP requests. AutoIt

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

$oHttp = ObjCreate("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:
$oHttp.CookieDir = "/cookieDir"
$oHttp.SaveCookies = True

; Any methods that do a GET, POST, etc. will save cookies
; to the CookieDir:
Local $sHtml
$sHtml = $oHttp.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 = True.
$oHttp.SendCookies = True

; If another HTTP request is sent, the cookies should
; be added:
$sHtml = $oHttp.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.
