// 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 turned on, the cookies received from the server
// are persited to the CookieDir, which could be a directory where cookie XML files are persisted,
// or the keyword "memory" to keep an in-memory store.

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

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

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

// Sample output:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <cookies>
//     <cookie key=".google.com,/,NID" v="0" expire="Mon, 25-Sep-2017 04:26:57 GMT">
