Adding Cookies to an HTTP Request

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to add one or more cookies to an HTTP request. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loHttp
LOCAL loReq
LOCAL lcDomain
LOCAL lnPort
LOCAL lnSsl
LOCAL loResp
LOCAL lcHtml

lnSuccess = 0

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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* The Cookie header field has this format:
* Cookie: name1=value1 [; name2=value2] ...

* Build an HTTP POST request:
loReq = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpRequest')
loReq.SetFromUrl("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp")
loReq.HttpVerb = "POST"

loReq.AddParam("param1","value1")
loReq.AddParam("param2","value2")

* To add cookies to any HTTP request sent by a Chilkat HTTP method
* that uses an HTTP request object, add the cookies to the
* request object by calling AddHeader.  

* Add two cookies:
loReq.AddHeader("Cookie",'user="mary"; city="Chicago"')

* Send the HTTP POST.  
* (The cookies are sent as part of the HTTP header.)

lcDomain = "www.chilkatsoft.com"
lnPort = 80
lnSsl = 0
loResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpResponse')
lnSuccess = loHttp.HttpSReq(lcDomain,lnPort,lnSsl,loReq,loResp)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loReq
    RELEASE loResp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Display the HTML body of the response.
IF (loResp.StatusCode = 200) THEN
    * Show the last HTTP request header sent, which should include
    * our cookies...
    ? loHttp.LastHeader
ELSE
    ? "HTTP Response Status = " + STR(loResp.StatusCode)
ENDIF

? "---------------------"

* Some Chilkat HTTP methods do not use an HTTP request object. 
* For these methods, such as for QuickGetStr, cookies (or any HTTP request header) 
* are added by calling SetRequestHeader.  
loHttp.SetRequestHeader("Cookie",'user="mary"; city="Chicago"')

lcHtml = loHttp.QuickGetStr("http://www.w3.org/")
IF (loHttp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
ELSE
    * Show the last HTTP request header sent, which should include
    * our cookies...
    ? loHttp.LastHeader
ENDIF
