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

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

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

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

# 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 = $true
$http.CookieDir = "memory"

# Do a few GET's 
$html = $http.QuickGetStr("https://google.com/")
$html = $http.QuickGetStr("https://stripe.com/")

# Examine the cookies received from each domain.
$xmlStr = $http.GetCookieXml("google.com")
$($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">
