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. PowerShell

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

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

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

# To save cookies to an in-memory cache, set the
# CookieDir equal to "memory".  Also,
# set the SaveCookies property:
$http.CookieDir = "memory"
$http.SaveCookies = $true

# To cause cached cookies to be sent with 
# subsequent HTTP requests, set the SendCookies
# property = $true.
$http.SendCookies = $true

# Any methods that do a GET, POST, etc. will save 
# cookies to the CookieDir (which in this case is an 
# in-memory cache.

$html = $http.QuickGetStr("https://www.paypal.com/")

# To fetch the XML cookie(s) for a domain, call GetCookieXml:

$xmlStr = $http.GetCookieXml("paypal.com")

$($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.
