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

CkoHttp *http = [[CkoHttp alloc] init];

// 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.

http.SaveCookies = YES;
http.CookieDir = @"memory";

// Do a few GET's 
NSString *html = [http QuickGetStr: @"https://google.com/"];
html = [http QuickGetStr: @"https://stripe.com/"];

// Examine the cookies received from each domain.
NSString *xmlStr = [http GetCookieXml: @"google.com"];
NSLog(@"%@",xmlStr);

// 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">
//         <AEC>AVh_......</AEC>
//     </cookie>
//     <cookie key=".google.com,/,NID" v="0" expire="Fri, 20-Feb-2026 11:32:20 GMT">
//         <NID>525=A57i.......</NID>
//     </cookie>
// </cookies>

xmlStr = [http GetCookieXml: @"stripe.com"];
NSLog(@"%@",xmlStr);

// Sample output:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
// <cookies>
//     <cookie key="stripe.com,/,cid" v="0" maxAge="7776000" secure="yes">
