This example demonstrates how to get the cookies that have been received from the HTTP server. PowerBuilder

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Http
string ls_Html
string ls_XmlStr

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

loo_Http = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Http.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Http")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Http
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// 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.

loo_Http.SaveCookies = 1
loo_Http.CookieDir = "memory"

// Do a few GET's 
ls_Html = loo_Http.QuickGetStr("https://google.com/")
ls_Html = loo_Http.QuickGetStr("https://stripe.com/")

// Examine the cookies received from each domain.
ls_XmlStr = loo_Http.GetCookieXml("google.com")
Write-Debug ls_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 key=".google.com,/,NID" v="0" expire="Fri, 20-Feb-2026 11:32:20 GMT">
//         <NID>525=A57i.......</NID>
//     </cookie>
// </cookies>

ls_XmlStr = loo_Http.GetCookieXml("stripe.com")
Write-Debug ls_XmlStr

// Sample output:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
