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.
