Caching cookies in-memory.

See more HTTP Examples

Caching cookies in-memory. To automatically save cookies to an in-memory cache, set the CookieDir property equal to the keyword "memory". Also, set the SaveCookies property = _TRUE_. If the SendCookies property = _TRUE_, then any cached cookies are automatically re-sent with subsequent GETs and POSTs. Visual FoxPro

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

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

*  To save cookies to an in-memory cache, set the
*  CookieDir equal to "memory".  Also,
*  set the SaveCookies property:
loHttp.CookieDir = "memory"
loHttp.SaveCookies = 1

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

*  Any methods that do a GET, POST, etc. will save 
*  cookies to the CookieDir (which in this case is an 
*  in-memory cache.

lcHtml = loHttp.QuickGetStr("https://www.paypal.com/")

*  To fetch the XML cookie(s) for a domain, call GetCookieXml:

lcXmlStr = loHttp.GetCookieXml("paypal.com")

? lcXmlStr

*  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>

*  If another HTTP request is sent, the cookies should
*  be added:
lcHtml = loHttp.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.
