Procedure Test
    Handle hoHttp
    String sHtml
    String sXmlStr

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

    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatHttp)) To hoHttp
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoHttp))) Begin

    // 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.

    Set ComSaveCookies Of hoHttp To True
    Set ComCookieDir Of hoHttp To "memory"

    // Do a few GET's 
    Get ComQuickGetStr Of hoHttp "https://google.com/" To sHtml
    Get ComQuickGetStr Of hoHttp "https://stripe.com/" To sHtml

    // Examine the cookies received from each domain.
    Get ComGetCookieXml Of hoHttp "google.com" To sXmlStr
    Showln sXmlStr

    // 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">
