(Go) Adding Cookies to an HTTP Request

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

Chilkat Go Downloads Go Package for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

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

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()

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

    // Build an HTTP POST request:
    req := chilkat.NewHttpRequest()
    req.SetFromUrl("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp")
    req.SetHttpVerb("POST")

    req.AddParam("param1","value1")
    req.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:
    req.AddHeader("Cookie","user=\"mary\"; city=\"Chicago\"")

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

    // resp is a HttpResponse
    domain := "www.chilkatsoft.com"
    port := 80
    ssl := false
    resp := http.SynchronousRequest(domain,port,ssl,req)
    if http.LastMethodSuccess() != true {
        fmt.Println(http.LastErrorText())
        http.DisposeHttp()
        req.DisposeHttpRequest()
        return
    }

    // Display the HTML body of the response.
    if resp.StatusCode() == 200 {
        // Show the last HTTP request header sent, which should include
        // our cookies...
        fmt.Println(http.LastHeader())
    }
    else {
        fmt.Println("HTTP Response Status = ", resp.StatusCode())
    }

    resp.DisposeHttpResponse()

    fmt.Println("---------------------")

    // 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.  
    http.SetRequestHeader("Cookie","user=\"mary\"; city=\"Chicago\"")

    html := http.QuickGetStr("http://www.w3.org/")
    if http.LastMethodSuccess() != true {
        fmt.Println(http.LastErrorText())
    }
    else {
        // Show the last HTTP request header sent, which should include
        // our cookies...
        fmt.Println(http.LastHeader())
