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. Objective-C

#import <CkoHttp.h>
#import <NSString.h>

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

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

// To save cookies to an in-memory cache, set the
// CookieDir equal to "memory".  Also,
// set the SaveCookies property:
http.CookieDir = @"memory";
http.SaveCookies = YES;

// To cause cached cookies to be sent with 
// subsequent HTTP requests, set the SendCookies
// property = YES.
http.SendCookies = YES;

// Any methods that do a GET, POST, etc. will save 
// cookies to the CookieDir (which in this case is an 
// in-memory cache.
NSString *html = 0;
html = [http QuickGetStr: @"https://www.paypal.com/"];

// To fetch the XML cookie(s) for a domain, call GetCookieXml:
NSString *xmlStr = 0;
xmlStr = [http GetCookieXml: @"paypal.com"];

NSLog(@"%@",xmlStr);

// 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:
html = [http 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.
NSLog(@"%@",@"--- LastHeader ---");
NSLog(@"%@",http.LastHeader);
